Setting Up Craft Fair





We had a bust time setting up the stalls at the craft market tonight.As usual we are in the same place, its surprising how many people come in to see us each year.
We have a lot of space to display the paintings nicely.
A table with just encaustic items for sale in the form of paintings and also the equipment to create your own works of art using melted wax.
Last year I sold out of it all in the first few hours of opening, so I have really stocked up this time.
I sold out at Onslow Park steam rally last month too. Its really becoming a popular hobby with all ages.
We will be back down at the college early tomorrow morning just to make the final few adjustments to the stalls.
I have all the class subject paintings on my freestanding stands in order of dates they are to be painted on, it makes life easier when people can have a quick glance and see how many places are left in each class and when its being painted.
There is loads of room for people to walk around both sides to see and also seats to sit and look--the husbands tend to take seat and let the ladies walk around the stalls and spend the money!
We are really looking forward to the weekend, its always great fun to do and we meet lots of lovely people!
