Running a craft practice is addictive - there is always more to try, new ideas to explore and projects to develop. Growing your business allows you to confidently pursue these exciting new opportunities to strengthen your profile, expand your range of customers and generate healthy profits. But with so many things to juggle, where do you start? And once you have started how do you keep up momentum?
Growing Pains is a half-day workshop to help you identify how to effectively and efficiently grow your craft business. Over the course of the afternoon you will explore what growth means to you and your practice, and identify the resources you need to make it happen.
