The system Etsy has set up - with individual artists controlling their own shops, and many modes of easy communication - definitely helps encourage this community feeling.
Why am I talking about this topic this morning? Well, omitting details to protect privacy, it is through the Etsy community that I found out about the novel "The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet" by Reif Larson, and it sounds pretty darn good. (The website is fun to explore as well.)

Very cool! Coffee, chats, and meeting new friends all through creating.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that does sound like a good book.
