Thank you Cerf+ for the Get Ready Grant for organizing my archive!

This grant proved to be the perfect commitment to get me started on this long-postponed endeavor. The grant helped me prioritize and research multiple resources and decide how to best organize my inventory. It is a crucial aspect for me to have everything centralized and updated.

Unfortunately there's not much I can "show", but you'll have to take my word for it. Among other things I hired an assistant for all the basic data entry from my website but I'm still adding more specific info. For this, I was super grateful to have now an organized and very much updated website—which for someone who is not on social media much—is a key tool to share my work with the public.

The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) provides craft artists with support and resources for disaster and emergency relief, education programs, and readiness grants to strengthen preparedness. Committing to generosity, inclusion, and care, we advocate for the thrive-ability of craft artists and craft as an art form.

CERF+ offers Get Ready Grants, providing craft artists with grants for activities to safeguard their studios, protect their practices, and prepare for emergencies. Priority is given to applicants that have been underrepresented in the craft community including BIPOC and folk/traditional artists.
