Find workshops you’ll actually want

Wayfield gets a lot more useful once it knows what you’re into. A couple of taps up front means the workshops you care about come to you instead of you hunting for them.

No app required — this works on the web or in the app. Use Wayfield right in your browser, or get the Wayfield app for iOS and Android if you’d rather have it on your phone.

Why interests matter

Wayfield lists hands-on workshops across a lot of crafts — photography, ceramics, cooking, printmaking, outdoor skills, and more. Telling it which of those you care about changes two things: what shows up first when you browse, and what lands in your email digest. Everything stays browsable; your interests just decide the order.

Setting your interests

When you first create an account, the welcome flow asks what you’re interested in and roughly where you are. Pick the crafts that actually pull at you — you can choose several. That’s it; there’s nothing else to configure.

The interests step of onboarding — a grid of craft categories to choose from
Pick the crafts you’re into — your first choice becomes your primary interest.
Skipped it at sign-up? No problem — you can set your interests any time from your profile (see “Changing them later” below).

What changes once they’re set

  • Explore puts your crafts first. Workshops that match your interests rise to the top, so the first thing you see is relevant — not just whatever’s newest.
  • Your digest gets personal. The workshop digest email is built around the same interests, so it only surfaces things you’d plausibly attend. See the digest guide.

Changing them later

Your tastes shift — your interests should too. Open your profile and update the crafts you’ve selected whenever you like. Changes take effect the next time you browse or the next digest goes out.

Tips

  • Be specific. “Film photography” tells Wayfield more than just “photography.”
  • Pick a handful, not everything. A focused list makes Explore and your digest sharper; you can always browse outside your interests any time.
  • Setting your location helps too — it’s how Wayfield knows which in-person workshops are actually near you.
