Course Overview: The house has filled with your creations? You sneak beads in the door when your family isn't looking. You race to the mailbox to get to the visa bill first. You've sold to your friends, family, co-workers. Now, you're starting to wonder if maybe you can sell at a craftshow?

Craftshows are certainly one possible venue - but there is lots to learn. How to set up? Which shows to do? How much inventory to take? What will sell? You can spend the first couple of years learning slowly, show by show, or you can get a headstart with this class. Learn from Catherine Winter — whose aggressive show schedule has taught her everything the hard way!

Whatever the reason, if you are considering doing a craftshow to sell your jewelry — you owe it to yourself to take this course.

 

 

Instructor Bio: Catherine Winter successfully makes and sells jewelry using her own handcrafted lampwork beads and silver components. She spends her summers working the craft fair circuit in Ontario, and wrapped the last two seasons with a booth at the presitigious One-of-a-Kind Craft Show.
