What are the best things about art fairs

They are concentrations of art and creativity, not found in most commercial outlets


Best show ever and why

My first one. Not only did I sell a lot of my woodworking, it was that I realized, and being "in" the show, that this was what I wanted to do with my life—create with my own hands, explain with enthusiasm what it is that I did, and revel in the never-ending support of my fellow artists.


Worst show ever and why

A Spring show held in a bad venue, at a bad time, when no one came, and as a result, didn't sell anything.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

When I was in junior high, I took a shop class and realized I was afraid of every single machine in the shop. I now own and work with, on a daily basis, all those machines and more.
