Hobbies & Crafts communities: common questions
- Can a hobby community teach me a trade?
- In several cases yes. Tattooing, barbering and woodworking communities in particular offer structured training that members use to start charging for their work.
- How do I judge a craft community?
- Look for critique threads with work in progress and specific technical feedback. A gallery of finished pieces with no discussion teaches you very little.
- Is a smaller community a bad sign here?
- No. In craft categories a small, active community usually gives better feedback than a large quiet one.
