Having recovered from my kiln building experience of this fall, I am ready
to retire my card table and construct a bona fide booth. I've got a good
idea of what I want to do but would appreciate any collective wisdom the
group has to offer as well as any resources on the subject. If this has
been dealt with before, please direct me to the archives. I need something
that is about 10 x 10' and would like to use cloth as a canopy (no blue
tarps please). TIA. Maggie.

Dear Clayarters,
I have an allied request. I'm a student at Iowa State University and am
wondering wondering if any of you more experienced fair exhibitors would be
willing to share hints, tips or plans for shelving designs that you've found
to work well. I'm looking for shelves that would be as portable as
possible, display the pots well and have the necessary stability. I'm not
much of a carpenter and am just about to the point that I'm going to be
trying to get into some of the local art fairs in the area. Thanks for any
help you can provide.

Try some tall shutters hinged together in pairs: break out slats and feed
8' boards through the holes to make horizontal shelves. Doesn't require
much carpentry skill, breaks down into something that's easy to carry alone,
very stable, attractive, easily repainted.

Regarding shelving for faiur booth, I got mine at a farm store. Heavy duty
plastic shelving that can be disassembled and reassembeled as needed, can
hold somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 lbs. Price about $20 for 4
shelf unit on sale. I got mine at Quality farm and fleet, but I think they
are also available at Walmart, etc.

We have a Home depot and Lowes in our area that have several knock down
prefab units that look good for non-carpenters and they are reasonable, you
would probably be likely to seal , paint or stain them though for continued
good looks.
