Art Star Craft Bazaar

Gearing up for the Art Star Craft Bazaar show in Philly next month. Here's the yak:

The Art Star Craft Bazaar is an outdoor retail art/craft show that is juried by Philadelphia’s Art Star Gallery & Boutique. Over 100 local & national artists have been chosen to set up shop & sell their wares along the beautiful waterfront @ Penn’s Landing. Shoppers can expect high quality handmade goods that reflect the unique & often quirky aesthetic of Art Star, set against the backdrop of the sparkling Delaware river. Art Star has hand selected a diverse collection of artists that create anything & everything, including housewares, paper goods, dolls, prints, ceramics, clothing, accessories, paintings/drawings, sculpture, and many other one-of-a-kind curiosities. All items have been handmade from a variety of mediums that include fabric, clay, glass, wood, paper & much more

It's my first show in Philly and my first two-day show of 2010. I don't normally do a lot of Spring/Summer shows (due to the fact that I work primarily in wool and cashmere), but this one was recommended to by by a friend and it looked so intriguing that I thought I'd just go for it and see what happens. Apparently there were hundreds of applicants vying for the 125 slots in the show. I'm excited I was chosen to be amongst what looks like an awesome group of indie crafsters. The location of Penn's Landing seems like a beautiful place to spend a couple of days, so I'm gearing up production, making plans to hit the road (and praying for sunshine and good weather).
