Hello everyone,
I am Donato, a Researcher at the University of Bologna with a passion for Etsy and the world of crafting. I am an Etsy seller (and avid buyer) myself!
I am glad to be part of this group, it seems that you are the only one that has not been conquered by pr! Keep hanging in there, guys!
With this post, I hope to spark a conversation around the relevance of storytelling in crafting. In my view, sellers' stories are essential to connect the object to the maker's lifestyle and infuse a craft with a significant symbolic meaning that better communicates its value. What is your take on that, based on your experience?
The power of storytelling in communicating the value of craft items and supporting creative people to share their uniqueness is at the heart of my academic research ( I tried to reconcile my passion for crafting with my Academic daily job). I want to understand better what other sellers think, and I am trying to collect as many voices as possible. I would be grateful if you could help me and fill in this short survey (just three questions).

Thank you!
