Portland's DIY Lounge

We’d heard tell of the crafty education DIY Lounge has to offer, but we recently came across one of their new offerings, Craft Fair 101, and saw the whole line-up of amazing classes they have to offer!

Here’s the dirt on the Craft Fair 101 class:

Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced seller, this class will help you navigate the world of applying to and selling at craft fairs and give helpful insight from two ladies who have been selling at fairs for years and now organize and run a successful fair. Subjects that will be covered include:

* The application process – presenting yourself and your work well

* The dos and don’ts of booth layout

* Pricing your work

* Selling at larger national fairs

* Selling tips – credit card processing & how to maximize sales

* And oh-so-much-more!

Students will receive a printed handout chock full of resources, tips and secrets!

Meow! Some of their other offerings include Beginning Soldering, Etsy Basics, Papercuts, and the 5-day arts & crafter after school camp School Rules! Check out the line up here. If you’re in Portland, and you’re crafty, this seems like the place to be!
