The Crafter’s Box

This is an unusual podcast because it works in conjunction with a subscription box service and the idea is simple: you buy the box and when it arrives, they teach you how to make what’s in it.

But they also take a look at how you can then put these skills into use from a business perspective.

This is a great form of personal development for serious crafters and it’s fun too!
