Let’s Get Learning…

I've got an idea for a handmade business... but I'm not sure how to get started.

I've been running my handmade business for a little while, but I'm still figuring stuff out!

My handmade business is successful, but I want to grow & take it to the next level!

So, you want to sell the stuff you make, right?

Me too! And I’ve been doing just that for over a decade.

I’m Jess Van Den – and I’ve been running my own successful handmade jewellery business, Epheriell, since 2008. In 2010 I went full-time as a self-employed maker, and brought my husband into the business soon after.

Since 2013, I’ve also been teaching makers just like you how to turn your handmade hobby into a successful part or full-time business via my blog, podcast, and membership community.

If you’re ready to create AND thrive – you’ve found the right place to help you turn your dream into a reality!

It’s a long road, and a lot of hard work… but it IS possible… I can show you how.

The Create & Thrive Podcast

Featuring interviews with successful makers, as well as solo shows where I share advice gleaned via running my own successful handmade business since 2008; and from the experience of helping thousands of other makers grow their businesses since 2013.
