Make Money at City of Craft!

Your artwork is really beautiful, honey, but you really need to make some

Craft Midway.  How long will it take? Like everything in the arts and
craft world, it depends on you.  The more intricate the process, the

After a one-year hiatus, Danijela Pruginic is bringing back her acclaimed old time
cameo photo booth to City of Craft. Combining an ancient tradition with a
modern medium, Danijela’s photo booth connects subjects to the past in an
instant, creating a unique and fun snapshot of time. The process is simple: we’ll
take a picture of your profile, and put the finished product on a magnet that you
can take home and admire every time you open the fridge door! But the photo
booth doesn’t come around every year, so be sure not to miss City of Craft and
your opportunity to get your custom cameo portrait.
