Thread: Selling my carvings question

  1. #1

    Default Selling my carvings question

    Hi everyone. I once again find myself needing some expert advice. I sure hope I am not becoming a pain in the backside. I am having a blast carving and learning all the things this machine is capable of. I just did my first litho and was pretty pleased with the results. Ok on to the question. I do realize the best advertisement is "word of mouth" but I am looking for ideas on how and where to sell these things. Specifically I am interested doing craft shows. The only thing I am wondering is how one finds out about these shows before they actually happen.

    Default Finding Craft Shows

    Hi Griz64,

    I never thought of actually looking for Craft Shows before myself,
    my wife seem to have a 6th sense about where and when one
    is coming-up months inadvance.

    I did a quick search on Google and found a few sites like this one,
    it might be a place to state.

    If you are an...
    • Artist or Craftsperson
    • Musician, Band, or Performer
    • Booking Agent
    • Commercial Exhibitor
    • Food Vendor
    • Service Provider

    and many others,
    local shows in your backyard and events nationwide!

    Wow thanks for all the info. I am sure it will take me some time to sort through all that info. I knew I could count on someone to point me in the right direction. That is why I love this board so much.
