\"Maker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking the leap from making for fun to making professionally is a big step. A few pieces of good advice, positive vibes, and knowledgeable role models can go along way. Even better is a lot of great advice, an atmosphere alive with positivity and encouragement, and an active community of mentors–but it can be tricky to step away from the workbench to seek out educational opportunities, especially when starting a new business. That’s why we’re so proud to sponsor an innovative new conference that takes place entirely online!<\/p>\n

Maker Mentors<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is online and everywhere\u00a0<\/em>May 14-16, 2015, so you can attend without buying a plane ticket, dealing with hotel reservations, or even getting out of your PJs. You can even get a $50 of discount off registration by entering the code UNCOMMONGOODS<\/strong> at checkout when you sign up! And, at the risk of sounding a bit like an infomercial, we’ll go ahead and say, “but that’s not all!” Because we’re really, really excited about this next part…<\/p>\n

As part of our work with Maker Mentors we’re presenting a series of free webinars featuring our artists throughout May and June! First up is the ever entertaining and informative jewelry designer\u00a0Emilie Shapiro<\/a>\u00a0on May 4th at 5 p.m. PST. (8 EST.)<\/p>\n

Sign up for Emilie’s free webinar here<\/a>\u00a0and register for the Maker Mentors newsletter\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0to stay in the know as we add additional artists to this series.<\/p>\n
