What’s Up With Craft Shows?
I recently got a table at an arts and craft show. I design and decorate ladies shirts with paint, sequin, stones, etc. When I signed up fot the show I was asked what I would be selling and was told it could not be commercially made items. It would be something that I had to have done by hand, which meant my shirts were fine. I sell other items as well like fashion jewelry, but by no means do I make these so I did not bring them to the show. Imagine my surprise when more than 75% of the vendors were selling only commercial items, like fashion jewelry stamped made in China, figurined stamped made in China, and packaged toys. There is nothing craft about it. I recently attended another show that was the exact same way. Is this how craft shows are now? Like a flea market?
