The last days of summer are over. Our family vacation to the beach was cut even shorter by Hurricane Irene.
The fall season is the time to renew our dedication to our work. The business of art and craft can seem like jumping through hoops. So much to learn, so much to do. It is just like learning how to hula hoop. It takes practice and a little encouragement to keep that hoop going.
I've learned lots of tricks. So can you, if you practice.
The SNAG Professional Development Seminar offers numerous lectures and handouts created especially for Artists and Makers who want to learn how to jump through the hoops of art and craft business practice. Learn from seasoned professionals and go with proven ideas.
