decor8 & Dawanda First European Blogger Event in Berlin!
I'm so excited to announce this as I approached Dawanda some time ago with hopes they'd help me plan a fun blogger event in Berlin this year. And it's planned! We're ready to invite all who'd like to attend so if you plan on being in Berlin this month, please mark your calendars for a free fun event I'm hosting along with Dawanda in a few short weeks.
On September 20th we will hold a special workshop called ?Make it! Shop it! Blog it!? for artists and designers to get together and mingle, learn from guest speakers (including yours truly) all about how to build your business through blogging. When I finish speaking, I'll stay to answer any questions from the audience that you may have about how to use your blog to maximize your small business as an artist or designer. If you do not have a small business, you just may walk away inspired to build one when I am finished because believe me, I have a lot to say on this subject!
Note: This event is bilingual! I'm speaking in English and Nicole will be speaking in German. No translator will be present!
During the event, we'll supply complementary "Kaffee & Kuchen" (coffee and cake, well really cupcakes from an American bake shop, Cupcake Berlin, that we've asked to cater for us) and then later in the day, our second special guest speaker (after me) is Luziapimpinella (Nicole), a DaWanda shop based in Germany which is not only a very successful DaWanda shop, but a popular German blog too. She'll share her first hand experience as a blogger and shop owner.
Of course we plan to do more than talk. Play time is part of the fun! We'll holding a screenprinting demonstration from both Smil and Bloodbunny who willl share screenprinting tips, help you print something of your very own, and you can leave with your very own creation. Materials will be provided, but only a limited number can participate so this is on a "first come first serve" basis (see schedule posted below and show up for this session a little a head of time to be included).
