Learning with Folksy
Wednesday, September 17th, 2014
Yesterday saw me slepping up the motorway to the lovely county that is Yorkshire for a day of fun and learning at the Folksy HQ in Sheffield. The kind folks there were running a workshop called ‘Business in a Day’ and I thought this could be just the thing I needed to push my new venture in the right direction (make sure you check back here at the weekend for the BIG announcement!) It was aimed at anyone wanting to make a living out of their crafty passion and topics covered included: why you’d start a business, what is your vision for it, business planning, describing the business, marketing and learning how to fail. Our hosts for the day were Folksy co-founder James Boardwell and Camilla, owner of the Folksy shop Butterscotch and Beesting. Both were inspiring and knowledgeable and spent some time with each participant on their individual ideas so that everyone went away feeling like they could move on with their planning. Oh and there were biscuits and cake! It’s well worth doing if you’ve got even only an inkling of an idea – some participants were in the very early stages of forming a business. Others were further on, so it caters for all. Keep a watch on the Folksy Facebook page for further workshop announcements.
Here are some pictures of the day.
