Etsy Educators - L-R, Rachel, Ruth, Jilly, Rose, Christina, me, Sarah-Jane, Nikki and Claire
Last week I travelled down to Etsy's London HQ to take part in a training session to become one of the first Etsy Educators in the world!
Alongside eight other experienced sellers from around the UK, the concept of Etsy Educators was explained to us, and we were tasked to set up a workshop for brand new Etsy sellers in October.
Our brief was pretty flexible - we all get to choose the location, duration and format of our session - which was really helpful. It's a trial, to see if this is something that can be rolled out further in the UK - and also in other countries.
So, throughout next month will be a series of workshops throughout the UK, if you are interested in opening a brand new Etsy shopfront then hopefully there will be one to suit you.
My own event will be in Liverpool on 21st October. It's a full day session - and will be at one of my favourite venues, HUS, who will be making us lunch too! For more details click here.

If Liverpool's no good for you then here are some more sessions throughout the UK:

If you're not a new seller (or you are reading this after October 2017) then I do offer both beginners and more advanced Etsy workshops in Liverpool; alternatively you can use this form to contact Etsy if you're looking for workshop sessions in another part of the country.
