Felicia Lo from School of Sweet Georgia, a membership site for fibre artists, is this week’s guest on Behind the Membership. Felicia first started her blog way back in 2004 and her physical business manufacturing beautiful hand dyed yarns, Sweet Georgia Yarns, in 2005. Over the years Felicia has also taught classes for companies like Craftsy, written a book, and run a yarn based subscription box, so by the time she started her membership School of SweetGeorgia in 2017 she already had a huge amount of experience in her market.In this episode, we're talking all about how Felicia is able to run the membership site alongside her well established physical business, and how having the two overlapping, but still separate, sides of the business works well for her and gives her more flexibility and stability.We also talk about how Felicia used Patreon for her initial idea validation, which gave her the incentive and accountability to create her full membership site. And we talk about the team she has helping her to keep both businesses thriving, plus how she focuses on YouTube for attracting new members, her plans for bringing guest teachers to her in-person studio to record courses, and much, much more besides.

Adding a Membership to a Successful Manufacturing Business with Felicia Lo

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we’re talking about building a fiber business with my guest Felicia Lo. Felicia is a designer and entrepreneur, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Her lifelong passion for knitting, color, and design led her to start the sweetgeorgia blog in 2004. A year later, SweetGeorgia was founded at her dining room table with nothing more than three skeins of sock yarn for sale on Etsy. Since then, SweetGeorgia has become a way of life where work and play are inseparable. In 2017, she published her first book “Dyeing to Spin &amp; Knit” with Interweave Press and currently, she is developing the School of SweetGeorgia to offer online fiber arts education to color-obsessed crafters. When she’s not playing with yarn or hunting tacos and ramen, she’s chasing her two young children around with her orange-loving husband. +++++ This episode is brought to you by Darice, a premiere distributor and manufacturer of wholesale arts and crafts supplies with over 45,000 items across hundreds of product categories.

056: What I Did This Summer by Felicia Lo

This is our first ever Q&amp;A episode and Felicia answers YOUR questions! I received nearly 750 question suggestions and finally picked a few popular questions to answer... Questions about craft and creativity, getting creatively unstuck, starting and growing an indie yarn dyeing business, and how I feel about the future of fibre arts, to name just a few! I absolutely loved being able to answer your questions and I hope you enjoy this episode!  In this episode, we talk about:  3:30 How do all your different craft practices inform and inspire the others? (link: Emma Welford’s Ribbons Cardigan) 6:15 Can you offer three tips for getting unstuck? When you are stuck in a rut or a having a creative block. (link:  Episode 44 with Shannon Cook on meditation for creativity) 11:45 Did you study color theory? How do you go about creating colours ... How do you arrive at the choices? Where do you take your inspiration for colours? (link: http://www.xrite.com/hue-test and http://www.color-blindness.com/farnsworth-munsell-100-hue-color-vision-test/) 15:35 Do you EVER do muted colors ? (LOVE the brights — but I am just curious) (link: sweetgeorgiayarns.com/colours/) 16:00 You are strongly focused on color. What about neutrals or monochromatic yarns? Could these have a place in your creative thinking? 18:15 I would love to know more about your own business process: how did you get started and grow your business? How do you keep things fresh? what percentage of your work is delegated and how much do you take on? Do you (still) love what you do?… How did you take your interest and grow it into a business, and have that confidence that you'd be successful? Did you ever imagine the business would be what it has become? 22:00 How hard it was to start your business? Did you ever think about giving up? 24:30 Your work is clearly fulfilling. What is it about yarn, dyeing, customers, etc. that makes your work so satisfying? 25:45 Do you think there is room for more indie yarn dyers? It seems that there are so many already but not sure if it will happen for me but one day maybe. 27:20 Are you hopeful or fearful for the future of the craft? Has the new generation embraced the fibre arts well enough to ensure that it endures? 28:30 What have you learned about yourself since you started doing the podcast? What do you cherish the most about these conversations?      LET'S CONNECT https://sweetgeorgiayarns.com https://www.facebook.com/SweetGeorgiaYarns https://instagram.com/sweetgeorgia
