Camp Dear Handmade Life is the only at-home experience of its kind that pairs expert craft & business instruction and goal-getting coursework with the kind of community connections that you thought were only possible in-person.

look, we know you're busy
You’re juggling life and work and you know… all the things.
Like… ALL the things.
We get it! You are our people.
We created Camp Dear Handmade Life with your busy schedule in mind. You’ll be paired with cabinmates who have similar availability or you can opt-out of a cabin and complete the coursework on your own. PLUS, you can take your time because you’ll have access to all coursework and class replays through Sept 1, 2021.
AT THE END OF CAMP DEAR HANDMADE LIFE,
YOU WILL HAVE...

Not to mention, you'll create unforgettable memories in this unique experience where we broke all the rules of what a virtual event was supposed to be like and created what we knew you needed!


I’m Nicole, CEO and Creative Director of Dear Handmade Life. For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside a team of badass creative women to curate events, education and community for creative misfits and passionate small business owners.
WE BELIEVE...
- Normal is overrated and weird is wondrous.
- Your passion can ABSOLUTELY be your profession.
- Everyone has the ability to be creative.
- Progress HANDS-DOWN beats perfection.
- AND, we’re all in this together.
Our multi-city bi-annual Patchwork Show festivals have welcomed over 500,000 guests to shop local, celebrate community and craft as well as provided nearly 15,000 artists with a venue to grow their businesses, share their products and inspire others.
Craftcation Conference, our dream of having a crafty vacation by the beach come to life, has helped thousands of creatives turn passion into a profession, become besties with their inner artist and find camaraderie.
We’ve shared business know-how, art and craft inspiration and true tales of being a creative misfit and entrepreneur through our 100+ podcast episodes, 800+ blog posts and our thriving social media audience.
We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the last 13 years and created a mold-breaking, rule-defying virtual event that’s truly memorable, transformative and unlike anything we’ve ever done before. We can’t wait to see you this summer!

I was amazed at how flawlessly everything went… Everyone was so friendly. The workshop sessions were awesome. And y'all really put together an amazing community of people.
- Chrystina, Craftcation Alumni
We just wanted to say “THANK YOU!” for once again putting together an amazing conference/experience for the Handmade Community. This was our fourth trip to Craftcation and every time we attend we learn something new, make great new connections, find new ways to grow our business, and leave with an overall feeling of belonging to an amazing tribe of makers! We missed last years event to attend a different conference and it was just not the same. We are not sure how you do it but you make it fun, informative, and nurturing all at the same time.
- Carolyn & Kristi, Craftcation Alumni
I had one of the best times of my life. I met amazing people, scored several awesome business deals… and had an absolute blast. Despite my business being my full-time job and pulling in six-figures for me, I want to let you know that I STILL get so many ideas and advice from attending this conference. It really is the best.
- Megan, Craftcation Alumni
TAKE A TOUR OF CAMP DEAR HANDMADE LIFE

We’ve taken the expert guidance of a mastermind group, the creative collaboration of a craft club, the support of an accountability partnership program and zipped them all together to make our Camp DHL Virtual Cabin Experience. By answering a few short questions during your Camp DHL registration, we will be able to custom match you with the perfect cabin mates to inspire and support you through the six weeks of Camp DHL and beyond.
Each week is broken down into self-paced solo challenges and group project collaborations as well as guided discussions to break down barriers and incite that rare kind of joyful, deep (and sometimes laugh ’til your sides ache) connection. This is that “we just traded friendship bracelets by the campfire” moment we’ve been talking about.
Whether you’re a business owner looking to scale up your business or you want to focus on self-growth or creativity, these itineraries were designed to help you connect with yourself, your creativity and your bunkmates.
