WESTies spotted! : C4 and Maker's & Market

 I went double-duty yesterday and attended both C4 - Central Canadian Comic Con and Frame's November Maker's Market with camera in hand. I got to hang out with fellow WESTies and meet some rad vendors with a heap of talent.

WESTies spotted : MAWA event with PeriwinkleDzyns

MAWA (Mentoring Artists for Women's Art - 610 Main Street, Winnipeg) held an Artist Bootcamp just a few days ago, featuring WESTie captain Ruth of PeriwinkeDzyns, and Caitlin of RealSwanky behind the lens!

With a wonderful, large group of inquisitive creatives, Ruth lead a 2-hour session showing us the ropes on the who, what, where, when, how & why of setting up shop on our favourite seller's platform, Etsy.

Questions were answered, discussions were had - it was a bangin' time all around! Onto a few photos and a wee Instagram mash-up..
