I came up with an idea earlier this week to offer mix-and-match wooden playset art kits at our pop up events this year - our first event was yesterday, so it was quite the scramble to get it all together, but I got the sweetest feedback on this new offering (and I’m excited to give it some proper time and energy beyond a few days of behind the scenes panic prepping 🤣😅).
I have the best team ever - we had our team meeting on Friday and they didn’t bat an eye at my newest idea. They immediately saw the vision of these little customizable Polly pocket-esque playsets, and were like “of course we’re offering these now!” 🤣. The ideas for all the different variations of hand painted playsets just flew out of all our creative minds together, and the overall excitement about it hyped me up even more!
Running a creative small business is hard. I often share the fun moments, but behind it all is so much trial and error, so many hours working on things that aren’t guaranteed to make a return, navigating all the intricacies of partnerships, scheduling, marketing… I’ve been sharing our upcoming workshops & I imagine it’s easy to fall into the assumption that we’re killing it out here, but truth is, we’ve had to cancel lots of classes due to no registrations. I’ve been tested & pushed back to the drawing board, nudged into being even more creative than we already are to generate revenue and keep this whole mission alive.
I keep circling back to art kits, and expanding on our create-at-home offerings in an effort to further support our mission: making art accessible, affordable, approachable, and fun… Art for All.
These new little playsets combine creativity and play with natural elements - it’s so aligned with our mission, and I’m feeling really excited about them! So here’s the first official soft launch for our feed: .art took on the task of creating our little .craft.studio mini play set yesterday, and oh my goodness, I teared up when I opened it and saw the OG accent wall 🥹. (Also laughing at how well my team knows my heart… love you guys 💗).
