DaWanda Backstage

Hi everyone! It’s VERY exciting to finally make the official announcement for this event! On 20th September in Berlin we will have a special workshop called “Make it! Shop it! Blog it!” for artists and designers to come and listen to the wise words and advice from guest speakers all about how you can realise the potential to build your business through blogging. Holly Becker from decor8 will be speaking, sharing her experience as a design blogger, a contributor for major design publications such as Domino magazine, and her wonderful ideas – and let me tell you, they are certainly wonderful! It was Holly’s idea to organise this event with DaWanda and I couldn’t have done it without her help and ideas along the way. When Holly is finished her talk she will also stay to answer any questions you may have for her about blogging and how you can use your blog to maximise your potential business as an artist or designer.

We will have a break for Kaffee & Kuchen and then our second special guest speaker on the day is Luziapimpinella, a DaWanda shop based in Germany which is not only a very successful DaWanda shop, but a blog too! Nicole is the lady behind Luziapimpinella and she will be sharing her experience as an artist who blogs and how she makes it work!

And we couldn’t let you go away without getting your hands dirty aswell! We will also have a screenprinting demonstration from Smil and Bloodybunny! This gang will share screenprinting tips with you and help you to print something of your very own! Materials will be provided, but it is on a first come first served basis.

Please note that this event is bilingual! Holly will be speaking in English and Nicole will be speaking in German. We will not have a translator.
