The Great International Craft Show (GICS), Series 8 kicks off tomorrow Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th February 2021. This is Craft Alive's 8th online event.....and my 8th online event too! The original online event started last year after we went into the first Covid-19 lock down, and we weren't able to get to the physical Craft Alive Events. It was an innovative idea, designed to help exhibitors through a tough time and for crafting people to have easy access to over 140 exhibitors from the comfort of their home. Over the course of seven successful online events last year, it has grown to offer a huge range of classes, online demonstrations, as well as the exhibitor hall.
However this year it is going international....hence the 'small' name change.
For those who have attended these events in 2020, it is going to be even more exciting! If you are new to GICS, don't be put off by the International bit........it is the same interactive event experience.....the same website, classrooms and social media pages. Lots of Australian vendors and tutors, plus more new faces from around the world.
Here in Australia the 'doors' open tomorrow morning at 9.30am AEDT. I will be doing a few video demos and product posts, so follow along on my Gum Valley Patchwork Facebook page to see it all.
Linda :)
