I see my opinion often echoed by other jewelry makers on the Jewelry Making Forum. While there are still plenty of success stories when it comes to arts and shows, there seems to an increased number of reports of inferior imported goods and show promoters who put the number of booths they can rent over the quality of the merchandise they allow to be sold at the shows.
So, what is the solution to this problem? Is there an alternative to the arts and craft show for those who want to sell their unique one-of-a-kind jewelry creations?
I’m going to put myself out there and say, “Yes.” There are many alternatives, and one in particular I believe is slowly overtaking the arts and crafts shows of yesterday: today’s jewelry home shows aka jewelry parties can be the perfect alternative to the over priced, over crowded, and under cutting found at many arts and crafts shows. Read on to learn what exactly a home jewelry show is all about and how you can throw one of your own.
