Check-in October 21 and 22—that’s about 54 days!
A newer member recently asked some good questions about our Market. Since there are others who may have similar questions, this is a good opportunity for clarification
What kinds of items are accepted? Weaving, Basketry, Knitting, Spinning, Crochet, Tatting, Bobbin Lace, probably Macrame, and there are probably more. But not Quilting. Mainly because there is a quilt guild and we give them their own space and great respect. Items need to be well made and well finished . Simple techniques are fine, just well made. Manmade or Natural fibers are both acceptable.
Check-in for items for our Fall Market will be October 21 and 22, Friday and Saturday. This is two weeks before the sale, which gives us time to plan the setup with appropriate props. Your items should be taken to the Guild House on Union St. between 10 and 2. Paperwork to bring with your items includes:
• Artist’s Contract
• Artist’s Inventory
• Hangtags
All items need to have the hang tags and information. This paperwork is available on our website under “DFA Documents” The hangtags identify artist, the fiber type, care instructions, and price. Hangtags should be printed on white or very light-colored card stock.
I also encourage artists to include a little hangtag with information about you, or your item, information that is just interesting…perhaps the name of your sheep if you are a spinner for instance. Or what the inspiration is for your work…why do you do what you do. Items that don’t sell will be returned to the Guild House for you to pickup.
