Some listeners might recognize my guest today as a friend and former employee at Stitchcraft Marketing, Benjamin Krudwig. Benjamin makes his mark in the fiber industry as a talented weaver, garment-maker and fashion designer. He is currently the social media manager at Schacht Spindle. I wanted to have Benjamin come on the show today to talk about his expertise on millennial buying behaviors in the craft industry.

This week Felicia welcomes Benjamin Krudwig: a textile and fashion designer from Lafayette, Colorado. Benjamin teaches tapestry and rigid heddle weaving in shops along the Colorado front range. When he isn't designing, he's spending time with his wife and two cats! Join Felicia and Benjamin as they discuss how to welcome more people into the fibre arts world!   "What I've figured out that works best for me is scheduling it into my life... from this time to this time I'm going to be in my studio. And whatever the means it could be weaving, could be sewing, could be sketching... I've carved out that time for me... there isn't really a magic wand except for try to make it a priority... if we don't put that into our schedule then it's never going to happen... I think... allowing yourself to have that is important.
