## Description

Create & Thrive was a handmade-business education brand founded by Jess Van Den to help people turn a handmade hobby into a thriving business. The site served makers and aspiring creative entrepreneurs, sharing guidance focused on the journey from making by hand to building a business. Its offerings included educational content, a blog, and a podcast, alongside a community of students and “Thrivers.” The website describes the community as having been part of Create & Thrive since 2013, reflecting its role in supporting makers over several years.

Create & Thrive is no longer active. Jess Van Den has retired from the handmade education space, and the site now serves as a farewell notice rather than an active source of courses or services. It thanks former students and community members and directs people who wish to contact Jess to her personal website. For visitors interested in handmade-business learning, Create & Thrive’s legacy is its focus on practical encouragement and education for people seeking to develop a business around their handmade work.
