Crafters, designers, artists, and creatively fun people are invited to the Association for Creative Industries (AFCI) SoCal Chapter’s Business Luncheon on September 13, 2017 at JT Schmid’s in Anaheim to, “Learn, Connect, and Discover,” how to improve or build a craft business. Whether you create for fun, income or want to find out if your craft is really a business, the AFCI SoCal will offer you options, ideas, and a helpful network of crafty, creative people.
Come be inspired by other creative people who have a passion to design and craft. The AFCI SoCal luncheon is more than a meal, it is an opportunity to learn the latest in financial options from guest speaker Nate Jemison of the Orange County/Inland Empire Small Business Development Center and receive in person business support. Also, be inspired by Los Angeles designer Paulina Herrera of Paulina Clothing to hear how she transformed her sewing hobby into a successful clothing and home décor line.
