Renegade Craft Fair
posted on June 16, 2008
After having so much fun in Columbus at TNNA last weekend, Potter Craft’s publicity director, Kate Tyler, and I found ourselves jonesing for some more crafty encounters closer to home. Luckily, the Brooklyn stop of the Renegade Craft Fair was in happening and satisfied our craft craving like a Snickers bar at 4 pm.
Unlike TNNA, which is exclusively for the trade (i.e. no cash and carry), the Renegade Craft Fair is open to the public for pure retail therapy. We started out the day early-we know who gets the worm-which meant 11 am, when doors opened. By noon, the crowds were upon us, no doubt thanks to listing on sites like Etsy.com, Flavorpill.com, ApartmentTherapy.com, and on the blogs of the 200-plus handcrafters who exhibited at the market.
It was great to see our authors, Cal Patch of Hodge Podge Farm and Faith and Justina Blakeney of Compai and to be able to meet so many other super-talented crafters selling a wide variety of jewelry, letterpress cards, decoupaged goodies, baby stuffs, t-shirts, screen prints of all kinds, and generally fun, one-of-kind goods. I picked up some truly beautiful letter pressed cards and a pair of earrings, while Kate scored with a few necklaces made out of typewriter keys-all things that we knew we couldn’t make ourselves!
