CARPA’s Persistent Close Craft Support (PeCCS) program aims to enable professional crafters to jointly select and employ precision-guided tactics for Etsy-engagement from a diverse set of workmanship methods. The program seeks to leverage advances in consumer psychology, computing and communications technologies to fundamentally increase artisans’ Etsy effectiveness, as well as improve the speed and survivability of craft businesses engaged on the critical Pacific North West indie market. The forward observation base in Portland OR has demonstrated effective techniques and will present PeCCS progress during fall 2013.
