Tamsim & Cathie, thanks for your help, advice & info...
Onward...
I know about craft fairs, galleries, retail shops, guild/co-op sales... any
other methods of selling one's work?
I'm looking for a quarterly called The Craft Fair Guide, by Lee & Diane
Spiegal. Anybody know who to call on this?
:-) <~~~~~ Su

Ever thought about catalog sales, like Pottery Barn, Sundance,
Williams Sonoma, etc? I've thought about it, but haven't done the
research. Anyone out there have experience along these 'direct
marketing' lines?

Hi,
Crafts Fair Guide address and phone: PO Box 5508 Mil Valley, CA 94942,
Phone and Fax 415 924 3259. Also, have you tried your local Farmer's
Markets? We have several here in the Los Angeles area that let crafts
people sell their stuff.

How about a "party plan" where you give a party at someone's home, like
Tupperware?

I have done this with a friend who is a baker at her house - it was great
fun and a nice way to sell. You get a good chance to explain your work and
get good feedback in a very immediate way. There was quite a "party"
atmosphere - I think it was regarded as an evening away from the normal
grind and a chance to get together and have fun...everyone was pretty
relaxed and ready to spend! My friend did some catering and I gave her a %
payment from sales. It also gave her a chance to sell some of her baked
goods. I took along a mixture of things that people could buy there and
then - first come first served, a few "sale" items, and other stuff that
could be ordered, which cut down on what I needed to transport.

Apparently the "party" theme is what Don Reitz did when he first got started
back in Pa, if my memory serves me correctly. He talked about this at a
workshop he gave through the Renwick Alliance in D.C. Barbara
