Taking Hobbies Beyond the House in Alaska
Aug 20th
There would always be people who take interest in making crafts as a hobby. Some create delicious pastries from recipes traditional to the family or even from new recipes made on their own. Some make crafts through needlework, quilting, knitting and crochet. Some even make works of art out of wood. Of course, there are other hobbies taken up in the home aside from these. But why keep such skills at home? There are venues where one can showcase these talents and even earn a little from them. Crafts and trade fairs and festivals provide the perfect venue for this.
But how do you begin without any contact with people who are into attending such events? How would you know how far it is from where you live or how to participate? To find these out, you would need a source for fishing out data about the upcoming crafts and trade fairs and festivals in the country or even just in your own state.
A way to go about this is that you would need to network efficiently with other people participating and organizing these fairs to get wind of the latest happening. But let’s say you’re a beginner at all this without any contact with others who attend festivals and without any knowledge of what to do first? What would you do now or who would you approach?

Rewards of Craft Shows to Your Children
Jun 25th
The art of making handcrafted pieces may be rewarding for some people. However, it is also true that to make wonderful work, you have to devote a whole lot of time and effort in your work. There are a lot of aspiring craftspeople that won’t get to a great level. But nothing to worry about; this is mostly due to a lack of devotion to your work, not lack of creativity, as all people have the ability to create and be creative.
I’ve met a lot of impressive artisans that have started honing their talents from a very young age. Now, I’m not trying to bring down some of the older ones who are just beginning to try it, but I’m just saying it’s a good idea to inspire your children from their early years. Some of these crafts, of course, involve the use of dangerous bladed, serrated or pointed tools, so you should always be around to provide help.
Making some of the crafted pieces yourself is the best way to entice your child to try out crafts making. You bond with them when you work alongside. And of course, any parent would want to spend more time with their kids, and this is a good way to go about this.
Once you notice your kid has started building up an impressive talent, then maybe it’s time to show off his or her work at a craft show. There are quite a lot of events that happen in all the states all year round. Begin at a non-juried show first, so you’ll be able to build up your child’s crafting credibility and confidence.
What do I mean by non-jury? The simple gist is this; in a non-juried craft show, all you have to do is secure a booth and then spend the day showing off your (or in this case, your child’s) crafts. In a juried show, on the other hand, you have to submit a profile of your existing works, and a jury will decide if you’ll be able to go into the limited slots of booths or not. So, obviously, one should start at a non-juried show first.
Bring your child to a craft show, and have fun bonding with him or her! Look for a list of upcoming events online, and see you there!
