NOW - about us....

The Kraaft Shaak
is an online interactive community for all sorts of kraafty artsy fun for all levels of all abilities. We learn, explore and grow in creativity TOGETHER! It started as a personal hobby and has become a family of Kraafters all over the world! You can read the full story here: About the Kraaft Shaak!

Currently, what we do at the Kraaft Shaak is limited to to the internet. As we meet new people online and venture into new areas of art and creativity, it is becoming clear to us that we do better IN PERSON and LIVE with people in the audience with us! Often, when we do a live show, we get requests to go on location. Some have asked, “When are you coming to my hometown?”  Some have said, “I want to be part of the audience” and “I want to kraaft live with you on the show.”

We have been blessed to give it a try and we loved it! Watch this ON LOCATION episode...Gelli Plate Tuesday on location!
We intend to take this show on the road, forming a new sub title - Kraaft Shaak on the GO! We want to get a bit more professional with our setup too. We intend to not just travel with a small tripod and a laptop to my Gram's; like we did in that episode. Rather, we want to outfit a traveling rig that will accommodate a full -on location- studio that we can produce a fun and interactive live broadcast to the world from a city near you with YOU in the audience!

What we currently offer:
~Watercolor, mixed media, Gelli® Plating, art journaling, and more! instructional videos, blog posts and design team work.
~Kraaft It LIVE - a free weekly 1 hour broadcast available live and recorded.
~This & That Thursday - a quick, sped up video showing a technique or project for easy consumption.
~Monday Meanderings - a monthly LIVE and interactive chat.
~Exclusive hangouts, sketches, videos and prints for the Patreon supporters.
~Online instructional courses, such as Learn To Draw, at affordable prices under the Simple & Basic title.
~The Kraafters Kommunity, a virtual community for everyone who wants a safe space to learn and grow in the arts.

With Kraaft Shaak on the GO! We want to offer all that and…
~travel across the United States, visiting the fine folks on our map.
~produce the weekly live broadcast with a live studio audience seating 10-12 people who will reserve their seat by using our online booking system. We call it an ART KONCERT!!!!
~travel and teach at local scrapbooking, hobby & crafting stores that desire an in house group function for their employees and customers.
~meet each and every supporter we are capable of meeting.
~share our passion and heartfelt message - all were CREATED by the CREATOR to be CREATIVE!
~hand deliver original artwork to those who order it.
~MORE...as we see it unfold.

We firmly believe that everyone was born with God given talents and creative abilities, but not everyone has the opportunity to develop these talents and abilities. It is our hope that God will use Kraaft Shaak on the GO! to bring the opportunity to everyone.

Kraaft Shaak on the GO! is an adventure we want you to be a part of and come along with us. We will use the funds raised here to travel the road and fulfill the lists above bringing an ART KONCERT to you!

It has been my own personal dream to come to a city near our followers, hangout with them in person, see their art journals and works of heART they create. To chat with each person, look them in the eye and tell them how important they have been to this endeavor, this would be a dream come true for me. It is also a passion of my husband’s to drive the big rig, travel the country and meet folks all over. This has been a family decision to downsize and set out on the road. We have decided to sell all our belongings and put all that towards the purchases. We still need your help though to get it fully funded!

PLEASE CONSIDER sharing this campaign!
Sharing this story with family and friends will get our message out there...we want to be the first in the industry to bring the studio to the people who can not attend otherwise. We want to be the first to make it accessible to all people of all abilities and financial levels.

If you believe in this cause and want to see dreams come true, please know that every penny you give will be used to share positive and creative experiences with people all over the country.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in an official sponsorship, please visit our Sponsorship Program Page  to receive the sponsorship package designed to promote your business’ generosity while we travel all over the road.

Our final request - if you would - please pray for this adventure and our safe travels. There is more about that on our website  as well...if you desire.

Thank you - from the Kraaft Shaak team (and the family of Kraafters all over the world!)
