Monetise Your Craft Summit Supported By Our 

Official Partner, Payhip

Turn Your Craft Into Income — Without Losing the Joy of Making

A free 3-day online summit for creatives ready to turn their craft into something more.

Learn how makers, designers and creative entrepreneurs are turning their craft into a sustainable income — with practical guidance from those who have already walked the path.
Monetise Your Craft

9 - 11th June 2026


Join us for three inspiring days of real stories, useful insights and thoughtful strategies — showing how creativity can grow into something meaningful and sustainable.

Free to attend • 9–11 June • Watch from anywhere

Stop Guessing. Start Building.
No More Guessing What Works

Many events for makers focus on teaching new techniques or patterns — which can be inspiring, but often leave the bigger question unanswered: how do you actually build something from your creativity? This summit is different. Every session is packed with practical insight from people who have already walked that path — sharing what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons they learned along the way so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Build Something — Not Just Make Something

Creating beautiful things is where it all begins, but building a sustainable practice around your craft requires a different kind of knowledge. At the Monetise Your Craft Summit, our speakers share real experiences, thoughtful guidance and practical ideas to help you move from simply making to building something meaningful around your creativity. 

Free 48 Hour Access To All Presentations

All summit sessions will be available to watch for 48 hours after they are released, giving you plenty of flexibility to fit them around your day. Whether you prefer to watch straight away or return later in the evening with a cup of tea, you’ll have time to enjoy the sessions without feeling rushed. 


If you find yourself wanting more time, the VIP pass offers extended access, along with a collection of community-led gifts and time-saving guides from our speakers and hosts. The option to access these extras will be shared after you register, but there’s absolutely no pressure to upgrade to enjoy the summit itself.

Sound Familiar?

You love making things. Knitting, crochet, sewing, designing — the creative part feels natural and enjoyable. But when it comes to turning those skills into something more, the path forward can feel unclear. You might find yourself wondering where to start, what actually works, or whether it’s even possible to build something sustainable around your craft. If those thoughts have crossed your mind, you’re not alone — and this summit was created to help answer those very questions.

You love making things, but aren’t sure how the business side actually works

You’ve thought about earning from your craft, but don’t want to lose the joy of creating

You’d rather learn from people who have already walked the path instead of guessing

You want to ensure that once you decide to move forward, you have the right tools

Together, they created the Monetise Your Craft Summit to showcase the many ways creativity can grow into meaningful income.

We know your days are already full, so this summit is designed to fit around real life.
Each day, you’ll have a small number of short pre-recorded sessions (around 15- 20 minutes each) that you can watch at a time that suits you. No marathon viewing required.

We’ll also gather for live sessions at 1 pm UK time on Tuesday and Thursday, giving you the chance to ask questions, hear from speakers and connect with our communities. 
The goal of this summit is simple: to inspire you with new ideas — not exhaust you with hours of video.

Included In Every Ticket

Tuesday - Live Session
In our first live session, you’ll hear from creatives who have faced challenges, setbacks and moments of uncertainty — and still found ways to build meaningful businesses around their craft. Their stories are honest, encouraging and a reminder that progress rarely happens in a straight line.

Wednesday - Payhip Q&A in the Facebook Group
A live Q&A thread, watch the pre-recorded session and ask your questions in real time, and a member of the Payhip team will be able to answer those questions for you.

Thursday - Live Session 
Our second live session is all about you. Bring your idea, question or creative spark, and we’ll explore it together live — helping you think through practical next steps and how you might bring that idea to life in a way that works for you.

48 Hours Access To Pre-Recorded Sessions
Each presentation will remain available for 48 hours after release, so you can watch it when it works best for you. Whether you prefer to listen while crafting, catch up in the evening, or set aside a quiet moment during the day, you’ll have time to enjoy the sessions without feeling rushed.

Private Facebook Group
We’ll also host a private Facebook group for the summit, where you can meet other attendees, stay up to date on announcements, and interact with many of the speakers throughout the event. We know Facebook groups aren’t everyone’s favourite place, but they allow us to bring everyone together in one space, making it easier to ask questions, share ideas, and connect with new creative friends during the summit.

Each Speaker Has Gifts For You!
Many of our speakers have also kindly shared a small gift for you. These resources — from guides and tools to helpful downloads — are designed to give you practical resources to explore after their session.
