Craft Fares & Events

Hello all you crazy talented craft enthusiasts who are out there enjoying their craft for nothing more that a personal hobby. Here is something for you to think about The U.S. craft and hobby industry is at $29 billion and rising.

UK Statistics as shown below taken from the craftscouncil.org.uk
The total market – buyers plus potential buyers
3– for craft is 26.5 million people (63% of the adult
population of England).
Within this total market of 26.5 million people:
16.9 million people had previously bought craft,—the buyers (40% of the adult population
 of England).9.6 million people are potential buyers, that is,—people who have not yet
 bought any craft,but would consider doing so in future
(23% of the adult population of England)
.23.9 million people, state that they would buy
work by living makers, and that they would
consider buying ‘cutting-edge’ work (90% of the total craft market).

However you view this, one thing is clear, there is a market for home made gifts, and Christmas time is maybe the best time of year to get out there and start promoting yourself and your craft, whilst making some extra cash for those extra essential we all need at Christmas time. Coming up to the festive period we have tables available for local craft enthusiasts at 2 venues that are offering good foot flow with the potential of lucrative sales figures.

We all have to start somewhere and no one gained knowledge without first encountering the pitfalls, or maybe I should say that those people are few and far between. Take that first leap and book a table at one of our local up and coming craft events. Remember success began by taking the first step to try.

All About Agate

Agate is generally an inexpensive gemstone when used in jewelry. It is cut and polished into cabochons, and used as beads for necklaces and bracelets. It is also carved into cameos which can be worn as pendants. Agate makes an exquisite ornamental stone, and is cut into slabs, animal carvings, ornate book ends, and small statues and figures. Agate SOURCES Agate deposits exist in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Poland, Botswana, India, Australia, and the United States (Oregon, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Michigan). Agate is an excellent stone for re balancing and harmonising body, mind and spirit. It cleanses and stabilises the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity. It is said that Agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, perception and analytical abilities. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety. Agate heals the eyes, stomach and uterus; cleanses the lymphatic system and the pancreas; strengthens blood vessels and heals skin disorders.
