The Makers and Crafters Who Work Live on Twitch

Twitch is the biggest online streaming platform, with gamers being the most common creator. That said, although Twitch was known to be a popular platform for gamers, it has grown to accommodate other content creators, especially makers and crafters. Streaming your craft is easier said than done because, as a streamer, you must balance monitoring your equipment and navigating your software, all while showcasing your craft live. But this challenge hasn’t discouraged more people from going live on Twitch to share the work of their hands with their fans. If you are thinking of following the same path to gain Twitch followers and grow your channel, here are a few live crafters you can draw inspiration from.
