As National Craft Month comes to a close, we're sorry to see it go. If you couldn't find the time this month to create a new, lasting relationship with a craft, maybe next month is your month! If you are an experienced crafter already, we hope you’ve enjoyed our projects and informative tips. We didn't leave you out, however. Craft, Inc. was written by Meg Mateo Ilasco, who turned her part-time hobby into a full-time dream job. If you've ever wished you could turn your passion into dollars, this book is for you! And if you're new to crafting, it's another great resource to keep on, keepin' on.
Craft, Inc. is the hipster business primer for entrepreneurial crafters to turn what they do for fun into what they do for money. Pro crafter Meg Mateo Ilasco offers a step-by-step guide to everything from developing products and naming the company to writing a business plan, applying for licenses, and paying taxes. Chapters on sales, marketing, trade shows, and publicity round out the mix. Plus, in-depth interviews with such craft luminaries as Jonathan Adler, Lotta Jansdotter, Denyse Schmidt, and Jill Bliss provide inspiration and practical advice. Accessible, informative, and more than a little spunky, Craft, Inc. paves the way for today's creative minds to become tomorrow's trendsetters.
