Here are 5 reasons they can be important:
- Helps you gain name recognition
- Lets the public know when you’re exhibiting at a show.
- Announces an award or type of recognition you’ve received.
- Informs the public about new classes/workshops you teach.
- Provides information about a unique trip you took related to your craft work.
