Hi friends! I’m looking forward to another fun year of craft shows! Participating in shows is a blast because I love meeting you! It’s great to have definite goals to work towards throughout the year, get feedback on my work, and experience others liking the pretty things I made as much as I do. Showing my arts and crafts projects to others, especially in a juried show like most of these are, feels surprisingly like performing, which I’ve always found to be fun and exhilarating. A “juried” show just means that somebody had to pre-approve the items of all of the artisans/sellers participating in the show in order to maintain a level of quality.
So, as I said, I’m planning on showing and selling my work at several central Ohio craft shows all this year, and I’d love to see you there. Since my items are mostly seasonal, I will be focusing on applying for shows that occur primarily in the fall/winter months. I often give a discount for in-person sales! Listed below are the times and places you can find me and my wares in the coming months. Email me (calicojoy@gmail.com) if you have questions or check out the event websites referenced.
