What kind of craft show? What about art festivals?
The kind of craft show we’ll be talking about is the new generation of DIY, filled-with handmade goodness-type shows. A lot of the information is applicable to traditional art/craft shows, art festivals and bizarres, but we’ll be focused on handling shows like Bazaar Bizarre, Urban Craft Uprising and Craft Attack.
Who is the teacher?
Hi, I’m Tara Swiger and I’m the teacher.
I’m the owner of both Blonde Chicken Boutique, an online yarn shop filled with my handmade yarn, and A Novel Yarn, a bricks & mortar shop in Jonesborough, TN filled with handmade yarn from a variety of independent fiber artists.
I quit my day job (as a secretary) to be a full-time fiber artist after running Blonde Chicken Boutique on weekends and evenings for 3 years.
While building Blonde Chicken Boutique I did craft shows all over the country, even travelling to Seattle (from Tennessee!) for my most successful show ever.
I want to sell my stuff in a bricks+mortar store, how do I begin?
Check out this class, which covers all the basics of selling your handmade goodness in shops.
