Fine Craft As A Business: Your Craft Show Experience: From Application to Exhibition to “I DID IT!”

$10.00 – $15.00

This workshop continues the series of presentations designed to assist those seeking to turn their efforts to create and sell their fine craft into a business.

Our PGC has created two brand new Fine Craft Fairs for 2024.  The changes we made make these shows easier for our exhibitors – lower booth fees, pipe and drape included, and easy-to-access indoor venues – and enticing for shoppers – easy-to-find locations with good parking,

Let’s help you do your best to be accepted to our shows and be your most successful!

This workshop highlights several aspects of preparing for and exhibiting at a juried craft show with 3 topics:

  • How to apply for shows
  • How to properly display your work
  • How to interact with folks at shows, including neighbor artists and shoppers.
