It was awesome at the CURIOSITIES : A Uniquely Different Craft Market in Scranton PA on 2/3/2024! We had an amazing spot selected for us in a beautiful venue. Here's some highlights of my table.

Pomegranates! I'm getting stuck into building up new stock to bring to the market I'm vending at in June, I'm so excited 😊

(I was dyeing my hair during the making of the video, so you may see flashes of my goopy and soggy head from time to time haha)

I can't believe it... I attended my first craft show for myself as Eliza The Crocheter 🥹🥺

I'm so proud of me! I sold some scrunchies, hats and scarves. Had lots of interest in the hexagon cardigans.

I decided to throw in some of my paint pours just to see how they would do.

anyway

I FREAKING DID THE THING 🧶

My Craft Fair Booth

This was my booth at the start of the day for today's craft fair!

Hello! I will be trading at Craft and Flea this Saturday, 11am until 5pm at the Cathedral, in Sheffield. I will have some new prints with me there, as well as a few Big Leagues jumpers. Hope to see you there!

And since no one asked 😜 some product close ups from the last show.

I should also clarify, I DID do pretty good as far as moving products goes. Almost every ornament and most of my cups sold.

But factoring in the booth price, travel costs, and my time there just wasn’t much in the way of profit.

It was a blast though 😁

Some pictures of my tent from the fair I went to a little bit ago! Thank you again to everyone who stopped by to chat! Even though the weather didn't cooperate much, I had an excellent time~

Will you be at maker fairs and other events coming up?

Would you like to help us spread the word about the Marketplace Research Survey?

We're happy to send a stack of these cards to you in the mail.

Just let us know!

Hi hi hi!

I’m one of the founders/creators and current co-organiser of the SAD Fair! We’ve grown a lot in the past 4 years and I’m so honored every day to see what kind of community we’ve built where we can celebrate and financially support disabled artists around the world. We are one of the first, if not *the* first zine fest/craft fair to go completely virtual, and we’re staying that way! Here’s a bit about us:

The Sick And Disabled Zine & Craft Fair (SAD Fair) is a grassroots week-long virtual craft fair centering disabled, chronically ill, MAD, and neurodivergent zinesters and artists from around the world. Now in its fourth year, this access-centered zine and craft fair will feature free live events, workshops, virtual "tables", and a virtual sensory room. This event is open to ALL! Allies are welcomed and encouraged to attend!

This fair is for people to display their work and build community, in a space that pushes back against popular narratives of illness and disability being inspirational or sad. The fair is free to attend, with free crafting and learning opportunities, as well as plenty of low cost zines and art to buy.

Our project is rooted in revolutionary love and need for community care, representation, and art. As sick and disabled queer and trans people, art is how we have explored our lives in a society that tells us we are inferior, especially as we go into the fourth year of a global pandemic that disproportionately impacts the sick and disabled community.

Many of us have been excluded from in-person craft fairs due to inaccessibility and inadequate COVID-19 safety measures. Our experiences are unique but not isolated, and our ability to find connections through art is what motivates us to pursue projects like this zine and craft fair.

Anyway, come check out the Fair this year! We are going to have so many amazing vendors and I’m so so proud to be continuously involved in this project. Also vendor applications are currently open, as well as workshop host applications!

You can also support the Fair financially if you have the means by ko-fi (link), PayPal (sadzcfair@gmail.com), GoFundMe (link), or venmo (@stonerzines with “SAD Fair” in the notes). Just because it’s virtual doesn’t mean it’s cheap 😅
