This week Emily and Michelle join Sophia Reyes at her studio and record the behind-the-scenes conversations during set up and take down of their annual Sample Sale.  Emily isn't thrilled with a popular small business meme, Michelle talks about her recent experience at the Crafty Supermarket in Cincinnati, OH, and Sophia- well, she’s still counting her money!

In the first episode of Detroit Craft Academy, I interview Grace Dobush, writer, author, co-creator of Crafty Supermarket, one of the organizers of Midwest Craft Con, and all around bad ass.

Many of us made at least one clay vase/bowl/pot/ashtray in our early life. But only a few of us were so inspired by our efforts, that we made it our life's work.  Such is the case for well over 100 crafters, artists and makers who's work will be on display this Saturday at Crafty Supermarket, held this year at the University of Cincinnati Recreation Center.  My guest on the show is Grace Dobush, co-organizer of the event.  We'll talk about the logistics of putting on such an event, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.  

The art of American made craft was in danger of extinction but with folks like Grace Dobush, co-founder of Crafty Supermarket, and other lovers of handmade objects it's safe to say they're enjoying a resurgence of popularity. With online platforms like Etsy showing the profit potential with sales transactions of over a billion in 2014 and retail partnerships like Nordstroms, crafters and artisans are claiming more of the market. Jason Redwine co-hosts with his pizza boxes.   And btw, if you're a crafter in business and looking for more resources check out this trade conference also organized by Grace Dobush, Midwest Craft Con is Feb 19 - 21 in Columbus.         

Grace Dobush of Crafty Supermarket and Midwest Craft Con talks crafty entrepreneurship, how to pitch freelance stories, and trend predictions for 2016 (hint: get your Shrinky Dinks ready). Intro & outro music: Untouchable by The Passion HiFi

If you live in the Midwest U.S. and have noticed that most of the craft con action happens on East and West coasts, Grace Dobush (co-organizer of Crafty Supermarket) has some good news for you. She joined forces with Brit Charek (organizer of Crafty Mart) and Megan Green (organizer of Craftin' Outlaws) to plan and invite you to Midwest Craft Conslated for Feb. 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about creative conferences with my guests Grace Dobush, an organizer of Midwest Craft Con, and Joy Uyeno, an organizer of The Hello Sessions. Grace is a freelance journalist and the author of the Crafty Superstar business guides. She's also the co-organizer of Crafty Supermarket, an indie show that is celebrating its sixth birthday in Cincinnati on November 28, 2015. Midwest Craft Con is a retreat for mid-career makers coming in February 2016. Joy Uyeno authors the blog Frock Files and is the social media manager at Bentley University. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband their corgi, Kona. The Hello Sessions is a workshop based conference for lifestyle bloggers and businesses that took place for the first time in October 2015 in Portland, Oregon. Please note that this show used to be called the While She Naps podcast. The name has changed, but the content and host have stayed the same.
