all artisans in my area of california
February 14, 2010
Is there any artisans in visalia or the surrounding areas that know any great venues to take your work to sale. Flea markets, craft fairs, trade shows, shops etc..or a place that supports local artisans.
I am also looking for a great place to purchase supplies, such as wire, gemstone beads, or findings, really anything that crafters find useful.
I am also interested in putting together a team of crafters so that we may share advice and share the costs of booths at fairs and other shows. One 10 x 10 booth at the tulare county fair is $1000.00. The showing there is amazing not to mention the advertisement included in the costs. As a team we would be able to come up with a way to support all individual artisans useing a common avenue. I would proabably not have enough product to keep a 10 x 10 booth filled for that many days anyways and together we could create a gallery of handcrafted art and products for our local community that would bring them more choices, variety and an easy way to see many artists from here in one place. If anyone is interested please let me know. I do have many other items not listed anywhere on line and I need a way to get them out htere and seen unfortunately I do not have the means to do this alone. Think about it crafters!

My family is wonderful and my jewelry helps us to pay for things we otherwise might not be able to afford. I am a jewelry artisan, a lapidary and soon to be gemologist. I love hunting for rocks tumbling them or cutting and polishing them. the beauty that I bring out in these are amazing. Of course it was always there just hidden waiting for someone to see. I sale on etsy, yola, ebay and in my surrounding area.
