This conversation has been a long time coming… After hearing nothing but great things about the Academy of Handmade Artists & Supporters (AHAS) from previous guests (and also doing some personal sleuthing about it myself 😉 ), I am so happy to finally have on AHAS Co-founder, Sharon Fain, as my guest this week.

If you’re a creative business owner and feel like you’re floundering in your business or even just a bit disconnected from the creative business community then you’ll really want to listen in and hear what the Academy of Handmade has to offer you as a creative business person.

This is the AHAS vision:

…a thriving handmade economy where makers are celebrated, respected and successful as not only artists, but as businesses. We aim to honor those who make with skill, artistry, and love.

Academy of Handmade – Topics Discussed

  • The AHAS Awards and Ceremony
  • The need for community and celebration and how the Academy of Handmade is filling that need
  • Membership benefits and expanding chapters
  • …and lots more

Resources Mentioned

  • MeetUp – a good place to connect with your local creative and handmade community
  • Creative Live – great place for learning
  • Trello – task organization system to help improve your time management and productivity
  • Canva – great for making graphics and images without needing a ton of graphic design skills on your part
