Reviews
I recently attended a two hour session with Katya Buryakova at Craft NI which focused on digital media and marketing. I can honestly say this was the most constructive and practical few hours of business advice I’ve received in the past few years. Katya asked me what my aims and concerns were and focused our session exactly on the information I was interested in exploring. This included video editing, photography for online selling and contemporary branding. We looked at Instagram, concentrating particularly on reels, followed by CapCut (completely new to me but really clearly demonstrated by Katya) and had a quick dip into photoshop for photo editing. I left the session with a clear understanding of what was attainable for me and really excited to explore the tools Katya had explained. I’ve already started putting this information to use, I especially like the idea that this aspect of a craft business can be as creative as we choose. Really recommend this process to any maker who wants to boost their digital skills and marketing, Katya is a font of information and enthusiasm, plus super friendly and welcoming! I’ll be looking out for any future sessions to attend, thanks Craft N.I. for organising this! Maggie Napier
