Figuring Out Etsy Search: Online Facebook Live Tutorial

Becka's Facebook Page

I teach in person classes about Etsy all the time, but I thought I would try something new and do a mini online session with a specific focus: How to get found on Etsy. This session is being sponsored by Etsy, which means I can offer it free for you. The most important part of selling your work online is getting found by your customers. So, I'll talk and take questions about optimizing your shop for both Etsy and Google searches and look at ways you can polish up your listings to get more eyes on your amazing work. Aimed at sellers with new shops or beginners looking at skills they would need to open a new Etsy shop. Monday October 28 • 7:00 PM • Live on my Facebook Page It's totally free to watch, but Etsy and I would both appreciate if you would register through the eventbrite link above to help us track attendance and maybe do more of these mini classes in the future!

Dye Basics: 6 Fiber Sampler

Weavers Guild of MN 3000 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, United States

Learn the basics of dyeing six different kinds of fibers - wool, alpaca, silk, cotton, bamboo and linen. For each fiber, you'll dye several samples while learning how to mix, process, set, and rinse the colors using both fiber reactive and acid dyes. Practice color mixing and discover the ways that the same colors can be combined to achieve different results. For this class, we'll work with yarns, but the same techniques would apply to dyeing fabrics made from the same materials. Finally, using your samples as reference, dye your own skein in a colorway you design. Supplies Note: Bring one skein of yarn in your choice of fibers. Cotton, linen, wool, alpaca, silk, nylon or bamboo. Any combinations of these fibers is fine. (Up to 10% of any other fiber is fine.) Any weight yarn is fine (bulky, worsted, fingering, DK etc) Skeins should be standard sized (approx 2-3 oz) Your skein should be white, cream or a light color.
