What does a Crafty Host do?
Your job is to show up, be friendly, and hang out with people who come to Crafty Vibes. That means:
- Set up tables and chairs before the event
- Welcoming newcomers and helping them feel comfortable
- Keeping the energy flowing if things get quiet (start a conversation, share a new craft)
- Maintain a safe environment for all present
- Clean up after the crafters leave
What we're looking for in a Host
Friendliness and a willingness to interact with people are essential. You should have at least one hobby or craft that you enjoy working on and that you are able to bring with you. (We can accommodate sewing and painting, but you might want to leave the woodshop machinery at home.)
What to bring
You might want to bring some of your own craft supplies from home. Weavers also has a small selection of craft supplies available for shared use.
The space
Events are generally held in the Library at Weavers of the Web (unless otherwise noted in the task description). Expect 1-2 tables, comfortable and low-key.
Attendance
Attendance varies. When an event is running consistently and fully staffed, you can expect more people to show up. If you're hosting a newly-relaunched or less-publicized date, it may be quieter. (Don't forget to share the event with your friends to boost attendance!) Please plan to stay for the full event, regardless of turnout; guests can arrive at any point during drop-in events.
Logistics
- Solo hosting unless otherwise noted, although friends/partners are welcome to join in
- No preparation required beyond showing up ready to engage
- A check-in process for guests is coming soon; details will be communicated when it's in place.
Day-of issues
If you're running late, have an emergency, or need to cancel, contact Solinox directly as soon as possible.
