Hi folks! I'm wondering if any NM artists have participated in the Las Cruces Labor day weekend Wine Harvest festival and if so, would you care to give me any feedback on your experiences? Thanks! ;)

Hi, I'm new to the juried art show venue. I worked in a jewellery store , selling and repairing jewellery before starting to make my own. I work in gold, silver, and palladium silver alloy and shibuichi. Mostly lost wax casting and some fabricating.

Anyone done the Festival of the Masters in Disney? This is my first year. I hope it goes well, getting tough to do shows and not sell... I did ok in Winter Park in March but  Orchard Lake,Mich, I didn't sell anything... orchard Lake was a nice show and the folks running it were really great...

I am new to this group but don't consider myself a jeweler. I work in sterling and karat gold making hand engraved trim for saddles and tack, and buckles. I do hydraulic die forming, standard torch work and vacuume casting. Recently most of my work has been duplicating pieces for antique restoration of saddles, bits and spurs for high-end collectors. Leather work keeps me so busy I don't have much time for metal work. I had to join the group to reply to a post.

I just happened onto this group and the first comment I see is from someone who does wire wrapped jewelry. So do I! My first juried show is June 29/30 in Boyne City, MI. I'm excited and nervous. I have learned quite a bit from this site already, about setting up my booth, displays, canopies, checklists, keeping cool at a show, lighting, etc, etc. Wow! This business isn't for slackers, that is for sure - and I already knew that when I started out, but now that the first show is so close, the self-confidence takes a little hit. I hope to be add information and keep learning more and more from the veterans who have been at this for years. Thanks all for sharing!

HI - I live in the chicagoland area and am in the process of changing out all my displays.  I have several gently used displays (some maybe a little more used) that I am looking to sell at a fraction of the cost.  Most of the displays are white and black leatherette from Rio.  The black ones still look great but the bases are a little loose.  The white ones are slightly discolored. 

Let me know if you are interested.

Went to the Scottsdale art tents this weekend, the one where you can display for two months. I was looking for our fellow art fair insider friends but I must have missed your booths?...

Thank you everyone for so much help. I will use some of your suggestions for sure.

So sorry to hear that Marty. I personally don't use cases. So far, I've been lucky. I keep my most costly pieces closest to where I am most of the time.  A lot of my necklaces hang on busts and are not that easy to pull off. It's the less expensive bracelets on display at the edge of my booth that I worry about. They are there to attract attention and draw folks in, but I do panic when it appears something is missing.
