First up – our own Becky Striepe will be speaking on a panel called Crafting a Green Craft. She will share the stage with the co-founders of Cosa Verde and the owners of Urban Fauna Studio. These amazing crafters will be talking about the ins and outs of green crafting – something that you see right here on Crafting a Green World. I’m sure you’ll recognize this next name if you’ve been a long time reader of this space. Former lead writer Autumn Wiggins will be sharing her thoughts on consumption and sustainability with Sara Cotner of $2000 Wedding in Consumption and Sustainability. How DIY will save the world. I’m particularly excited for this session to get a discussion going on the role of handmade and the environment. The Summit of Awesome will take place the first weekend in May in Washington, D.C. The Summit of Awesome is 3-days filled with business seminars for artists and crafters, hands-on workshops, the D.C. premiere of the Indie Craft Documentary, Handmade Nation, and a Saturday night party called the Show of Awesome. The Summit of Awesome is a one way ticket to propel you and your craft to the next level. It is a great mix of learning and crafting from discussions to hands on, with a little something for everyone. For a complete details on the Summit, check out the schedule and the speaker line up.
