May HubTalk: Craft to Commerce

Join for our May HubTalk: Craft to Commerce

A lot of people in the Gorge are building something. A furniture maker. A contractor who's been doing side work for years. A baker, a welder, a ceramicist. The skill is there. The demand might be there. But turning that into an actual business with pricing, and customers, and legal structure, and a mindset that didn't come with the hobby... that's a different thing entirely.

This HubTalk brings together local makers, tradespeople, and creative entrepreneurs who made that leap. They'll talk about what shifted when they stopped doing it for fun and started doing it for real: how they thought about their work differently, where they got stuck, and what they wish someone had told them earlier.

If you're sitting on a skill or a craft and wondering whether there's a business in it, come hear from people who were exactly where you are now.

Light bites available | Cash bar (and NAs) available from The Ruins.
