Hey Canada! Announcing –Make Your Living by Etsy

We're excited to help Etsy announce their new Make Your Living video series launching today –profiling Canadian artists who make their living using Etsy. Their aim is to encourage artists to take the leap by featuring artists who've used Etsy to start their small businesses. This is a call to action for artists across Canada to do what they love, on their own terms. I love that!

To kick off the series the new Etsy Canada team began in their own backyard, in Kensington Market to the studio of Victory Patterns, where Kristiann Boos invited them into her pattern making digs, where she designs vintage-inspired wears for the everywoman. They then travelled north to Caledon, Ontario to the studio of husband and wife duo, Patrick and Mara who run Studioliscious, creating one of a kind, modern furniture and paintings.

There are over 800 000 small businesses on Etsy, in over 150 countries with over 25 million members. Etsy is investing in Canada in support of Canadian artists with projects like Make Your Living, taking the spirit of DIY to heart and giving Canadians a head start by offering a limited time offer of 20 free listings to try it out with the promo code "makeyourliving" redeemable at etsy.com/promotion
