When was the "golden era" of Etsy? In the final installment of the Etsy-sodes, we will be exploring many pivotal moments that changed the company's trajectory (and the lives of its sellers).  When did the good times end/the less good times begin?  We will try to figure that out!  We'll be covering the return (and bitter departure) of Rob Kalin, the manufacturing policy change, the IPO (and the subsequent lawsuit) and all the new fees and shipping polices.  And we'll break down why so many makers stay with Etsy despite all of these issues. And again, let's give a special, super grateful shout to our friend (and a previous guest), Christine of Lady Hogg Vintage for doing a bunch of research and sending us a ton of info! Thank you so much, Christine! She's been selling on Etsy for a long time so she had a lot of experience and memories to share that really guided the process of writing this story!Extra Credit Reading (there's so much for this episode)!EtsybitchCallin' Out On Etsy"From Etsy to Sweatsy," April Winchell, Vice."How Etsy Alienated Its Crafters and Lost Its Soul," Grace Dobush, Wired."Creating Etsy's Handmade Marketplace," Teri Evans, The Wall Street Journal."Was Etsy too good to be true?"

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.

Since this book is the first Crafter’s Market, I wanted to interview one of the contributors, and Grace was happy to oblige. In our interview, we talked about the topics covered in Grace’s two chapters in the 2015 Crafter’s Market, “Indie Craft Shows” and “Pricing Your Work.” We also discussed Grace’s February article in WIRED, “How Etsy Alienated Its Crafters and Lost Its Soul” and Etsy’s recent announcement about filing a registration statement for an initial public offering (IPO). I referenced a recent discussion about whether Etsy is the best online marketplace for yarn crafters, as well as an interview I did with Alexandra Tavel from Two of Wands on Etsy that I’ll be sharing on the podcast next week.
