Art Fair Insiders

Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Art Fair Insiders.  I just wanted to pop in and say "hello!"

I'm a fiber artists who primarily works with traditional feltmaking techniques (wet felting, needle felting, and nuno felting).  Although, I have been branching out into making my own fiber kits and hand dyed silks and wool.  I've been selling online several years now with good success thus far.  I have also done consignment and wholesale on occasion.  I've been part of some local arts/crafts shows as well as a few juried national shows.  My husband and I would like to start doing more shows soon and work into doing them full-time.  We'd also like our own studio/shop to sell fiber art and supplies and teach classes.  That is our long-term goal once our baby daughter gets to be school age.

I'm happy to have found this group with so much wonderful information on doing shows :)  I look forward to learning from this group and what its members have to offer.
Thanks,
Shalana

HI Shalana,
Welcome to Art Fair Insiders. Glad you found us. This site is loaded with helpful information and helpful people.

I'm work with textiles, too. However, I have never felted. That is something that has always interested me, but I haven't worked with it - yet.

Welcome!

Thanks so much for the welcome :)
You should give felting a try. It is quite fun (and addictive) once you get started.

Hello, Shalana,

You'll find a wealth of information here, and a lot of truly interesting, generous and kind people who are willing to share their experiences.

I'm an artist and a show director, so my perspective is a bit different than some of the people here. I make one-of-a-kind jewelry and I do digital collage.

Welcome!
Barbara
