In the age of Etsy, Pinterest, and even Kickstarter, we're hearing the term "craft-preneurs" more than we ever thought possible. From knitted knickknacks to glass-blown tchotchkes, business-minded creatives are taking the DIY approach to retail -- and they're doing it, with CraftHackEV.

This Wednesday at 6 p.m. Craft Hack invites crafters of all levels to meet, greet, and work on a decoupage project with Mod Podge, canvas, and book scraps. The event will take place at Craft Hack's usual monthly meet up spot, Gangplank, a collaborative workspace in Chandler.

This is event is free to attend and an opportunity for crafters to share, discuss, and advise each other on how to make it as " craft-preneurs."

For more information, visit the CraftHackEV Facebook event.
