Members Yoshi888 Posted October 10 Members Report Posted October 10 While I am usually more active on Reddit, I want to become more active here as well so I thought I would also post a bit of an Intro! Leatherworking has been a passion for many years and roughly 18 months ago I also started my own Business. I am from Germany, and luckily, we still have a very big Craft Fair culture (Kunsthandwerkermärkte) and I make most of my money there. I also sell online, but most of my business is in person. This year I also started my own Youtube Channel and make videos for the Patterns I publish. I love designing and making new products so creating and selling patterns was a perfect excuse to always come up with new product ideas. And next year, I will finally open my own store as well 😇 I have a lot of renovation to do over the Winter, but I feel so blessed and excited that I have the opportunity to have my own store. Here is also a Market of me at one of my Craft Fairs some months ago. Happy to be here and be more active in the Future Happy Crafting Josh Quote

Members rleather Posted October 12 Members Report Posted October 12 Welcome Josh! I have been doing leather work for quite awhile, been doing a rather large flea market about an hour away, for about 3 years. Prior to that a market in the "forest" until the owner retired, and it closed. This past July I did a major craft show, held at an expo center nearby. It was the first year for the event, and it was very successful. It is not a jury event but you do have to apply and be approved. It is a totally handcrafted event, with paid admission. So you have a group of people that are there to buy. My set up was like yours, no tent, it was a indoor event and it was optional. I wish that there where more opportunities, I"m glad you have the chance to open your own store and are able to go to market! Your products look amazing, and keep crafting my friend. Good luck and god bless! Quote

Members OdinUK Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM Members Report Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM Welcome, Josh. I'm in Germany too, near the Black Forest area, but originally from England. Where is the best place to search for craft fares dates and places? Is there a website to go to? Paul Quote Lord Of Leather
