It cannot be denied that crafting is one of the most rewarding arts in the world. Creating something that is wholly tangible and tactile is something distinct from the likewise amazing art of cinematography, for example. The capacity to hold and interact with with an object is a treat to the senses.
As such, it is not unusual for various craftspeople to turn up in California. As the people pursue their various lives here, they often want to stop for awhile and just appreciate the finer things. Craftspeople are experts at this; their works echo life itself.
You may already be a craftsperson living in (or thinking about moving to) California, then maybe it has crossed your mind to sell your crafts at the different craft shows that occur annually around the state. How do you go about this? There are about 849 craft shows scheduled to happen in this fair alone, and my first tip is to carefully pick which fairs to attend.
Well, you do have access to the Internet (you wouldn't be reading this otherwise), the leading source of information these days. A casual search will lead you to online listings of craft shows with little problems. From there, you can get the contact information of whoever is handling the event. Do, this, and you have already completed the first step.
Communication is an integral skill to learn, of course, and this skill must be utilized correctly in selling, starting with the event organizers. You have their contact information, give them a call or meet up with them and inquire about how they run things. Normally, these craft shows will have you pay a certain amount to use their booths, but that's where the similarity ends. Benefits included in the fee will vary; for example, some offer access to electrical outlets, while most do not. It's best to know small things like these before anything, so you won't be troubled afterwards.
