Good morning: I am sending a reply to selling at Craft Shows. My comments may not make a difference in anyone's life but my wife and I are promoters of CRAFT SHOWS! The malls and both of us jury the craft as they must provide pictures of their items as well as their displays. We look for quality first and utmost! Secondly we look for display. This can be worked on but quality is almost #1. If you mass produce items you will never be asked to join us again. We run an honest show for the honest crafter. We insist on all items whether wood or any other crafter these items must be homemade.
Most crafters that are not serious about shows and there only to make money are not always willing to work with us and they try to fudge their items around a few homemade ones but we take that crafter aside and inform them that we know what they are doing and they would not be allowed back at one of our shows. We are here to make money also but my reputation is on the line here and we do deal with malls that charge us big bucks to bring a show into their mall so we demand the best. We do, however, at times need to limit the numbers of any type of crafter that comes into our show just on the basis that it is not fair to have 10 woodworkers if there is only 25 spots...not fair to any of the woodworkers so there are some limits that we and the mall put on some people.
We do shows in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey if anyone is ever in this area, come visit or join us at one of our shows. Chuck
