Patchwork Show Ventura Spring 2024 – RECAP

The trip to Ventura every season for Patchwork Show feels like coming home. As the home of Craftcation, the town holds so many fond memories of creativity and community, and visiting means we get to see lots of beloved Craftcation alumni.* Between seeing old friends and making new ones (many of them being four legged friends, including one cat!), the good vibes made the gray, overcast skies seem a little bit brighter.

We also featured a number of rad DIYs and activities::

• DIY Henna Art on Paper with Moonwave Henna
• Reiki and Crystal Energy Healing with Mayari Whispers
• Floral Rubbings with Cat Scratch Clothing & Accessories
• Handmade Cat Toy DIY with Whimsily Ever After
• DIY Pins & Stickers with Band Camp Buddies
• Pop-up Shop and Bookmark Making with Smitten Bookstore

Thanks so much, Ventura, we miss you already! Our next show takes us back up North to Oakland, hope to see you there!

* I’m happy to report that our 2023 Iron Craft Champion, Jenny Lounibos (in her Make it Together dress), is alive and well despite her sudden departure from Craftcation 2024, conveniently right before she was able to defend her title.
