Workshops
Independent makers are responsible for the creation of one-of-a-kind art and the finances, marketing and sales of their business. For many years, Tennessee Craft has offered an annual, one-day professional development workshop to help artists grow their craft careers. Our workshops bring professionals together to share emerging trends and best practices on issues artists need to master for sustained success.
In 2020, the workshop for the following January 2021 was made virtual for health reasons. This model was continued in 2022, with the addition of a virtual Lunch & Learn series “Crafting Your Professional Toolkit” in February 2022. This series was so popular that in 2022-2023, Tennessee Craft will offer two Lunch & Learn series, in November and February. Click here for more information.
