Another Satisfied Customer - Academy of Handmade Artists and Supporters • Steph Calvert Art

This Just In(stagram) - Affordable Web Design, Illustration, Art and Design Services

So great to see this instagram photo from Sharon Fain last night – she’s one of the masterminds behind the Academy of Handmade Artists and Supporters, and they have a great event coming up called the Next Level Business Workshop.

We designed the postcards for the event, along with a couple of coordinating graphics perfect for sharing on the web. Plus if you’re an Academy of Handmade member, you could win a FREE visual branding brainstorm from your pals at Hearts and Laserbeams at the workshop!

Here’s more info on the event, from the Academy of Handmade workshop:

The holiday season is the biggest money maker for most craft artists. Now is the time to start thinking about all the things you’ve been meaning to do to get your business ready for the next level. We’ve orchestrated a day to get things done that will polish established businesses and prepare recent start ups! The cost is extremely budget friendly and photography alone is typically more than the price of this workshop.
