Join us and be part of Creative Spark Virtual, LIVE events! In 2024, we will focus on Quilting, Color & Design, Art Quilting and Embroidery. We are looking for creative instructors for four virtual, live events in 2024. This is a great opportunity to reach consumers who do not travel to live events but would love to learn from you.
How To Apply:
Please complete the submission form for the events you would like to participate in. You do not need to be a C&T author or Creative Spark Instructor but should be a skilled teaching instructor. To apply, fill out this Google Form.
What are Creative Spark LIVE Events?
They are virtual events. As an instructor you can present live demonstrations, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, or pre-recordings of techniques during the keynote, followed by some Q&A.
What makes our events different from many out there?
- the caliber of instructors
- the number of instructors per event
- the interactive and engaging quality, it's a meeting, not a webinar
2024 will be our third year offering LIVE events. The feedback from attendees has been off-the-charts positive, and they all want more live events. Our events allow folks to choose which breakout room sessions to watch LIVE while being able to watch the other sessions’ recordings later. Recordings are not sold after the event date.

Why partner with C&T and Creative Spark?
From marketing to hosting, we manage everything. You get exposed to our list of over 205,000 consumers who are avid fans of all things quilting and embroidery.
