DMWA Meeting
How I Turned My Basement Hobby into a Business with Katie Burkhardt
Thursday, October 16, 2025 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
An Etsy shop she started on a whim during the pandemic turned into a full-time woodworking business for club member Katie Burkhardt. She describes her home decor designs as classic, organic, and simple, and they have obviously resonated with her customers. She'll take us through the pros and cons and the ups and downs of turning a hobby into a business. See her work at carpenterkatie.co.
Meeting at the Fred Maytag II Scout Center, 6123 Scout Trail, Des Moines 50321.
