Art Studio Clearance Sale 2009
Deadline: October 3, 2008 (RECEIVE)
Art Studio Clearance Sale 2009
Ohio Designer Craftsmen
Ohio Expo Center (Ohio State Fairgrounds)
Jan. 24–25, 2009
Ohio Designer Craftsmen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fine crafts for 45 years. The goals of its fairs, exhibitions, education programs and publications are to establish a standard of excellence in craft, encourage creative growth, provide professional support to craftspeople, and build public awareness, appreciation and collection of fine craft.
The 2008 Art Studio Clearance Sale was the biggest in the Columbus show’s 12-year history!
Attendance increased an incredible 21%, capping off four years of steady growth. To accommodate more parking for our growing audience, the Art Studio Clearance Sale will be moving to a slightly larger venue at the Ohio Expo Center (State Fairgrounds) in 2009. Past exhibitors will be pleased that with the new location there will be no increase in booth fees or admission price. New exhibitors will discover the fun of this easy and informal show, with no fancy booth set-up required, “blue-light specials” throughout the day, and creative sales gimmicks encouraged! The show is a great way to reduce inventory, overstock and slightly imperfect seconds and generate income during the “off ” season for Midwest fairs.
Artist Eligibility/Show Policies
• Artist must be present on each day of the show.
• Work must be of original concept, design and execution; no kits, commercial molds, etc.
• Work must be handmade, meaning that a human being is intimately involved in making each piece.
• Only the work of individual or collaborating artists may be shown and sold. Collaborating artists may show only their joint work.

Art Studio Clearance Sale 2009
Ohio Designer Craftsmen
Ohio Expo Center (Ohio State Fairgrounds)
Jan. 24–25, 2009
Ohio Designer Craftsmen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fine crafts for 45 years. The goals of its fairs, exhibitions, education programs and publications are to establish a standard of excellence in craft, encourage creative growth, provide professional support to craftspeople, and build public awareness, appreciation and collection of fine craft.
The 2008 Art Studio Clearance Sale was the biggest in the Columbus show’s 12-year history!
Attendance increased an incredible 21%, capping off four years of steady growth. To accommodate more parking for our growing audience, the Art Studio Clearance Sale will be moving to a slightly larger venue at the Ohio Expo Center (State Fairgrounds) in 2009. Past exhibitors will be pleased that with the new location there will be no increase in booth fees or admission price. New exhibitors will discover the fun of this easy and informal show, with no fancy booth set-up required, “blue-light specials” throughout the day, and creative sales gimmicks encouraged! The show is a great way to reduce inventory, overstock and slightly imperfect seconds and generate income during the “off ” season for Midwest fairs.
Artist Eligibility/Show Policies
• Artist must be present on each day of the show.
• Work must be of original concept, design and execution; no kits, commercial molds, etc.
• Work must be handmade, meaning that a human being is intimately involved in making each piece.
• Only the work of individual or collaborating artists may be shown and sold. Collaborating artists may show only their joint work.
• Slides or digital images submitted for jurying must be representative of the majority of work to be exhibited and sold in terms of both quality and price range.

Craft Corps
Book Participation Opportunity
Vickie Howell
Calling all crafters! I’m gearing up to write my next book, Craft Corps (pronounced Craft Core) which will focus on the community perpetuated by craft and the designers & hobbyists who feed it. As part of the content, I’m hoping to include 50-60 short profiles of crafters of all types. If you knit, crochet, embroider, decoupage, paint, sew, bead, tat, work with ceramics, collage, etc.---I want to hear from you! Whether you’ve found success selling your handmade sock monkeys on Etsy or you crochet chemo caps for charity, I want to know who you are, what you craft and why you do it. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL CRAFTERS (in fact, it's preferable as the book's other content will focus on that)!
I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to receive e-mails from people all over the world, sharing their favorite memory of crafting, what crafting has done for them or what got them started and how they’ll never stop. These stories--from hilarious craft mishaps to touching crafty life stories-- have inspired me to collect more to share with the public, handmade community.
If you’re interested in possibly being a part of Craft Corps, please fill out the questionnaire, cut and paste it into the body of an e-mail, and send it to: craftcorps@gmail.com as soon as possible (but no later than AUGUST 15th.) If we’re able to use your profile, an editor will contact you directly with more info.

Philadelphia Swap-O-Rama-Rama
Deadline: Unspecified
Philadelphia Swap-O-Rama-Rama
Old Pine Community Center
Philadelphia, PA
October 19, 2008
The Philadelphia Sewing Collective presents Philadelphia Swap-O-Rama-Rama, otherwise known as SORR is a clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing. SORR’s goal is to teach people how to transform from consumers to creators through the making of wearable things and through ongoing local connections. Most people who attend SORR get super charged about their new life as a maker. Some shift by simply seeking items made by people rather than machines. For additional information on the nationwide SORR movement, check out http://www.swaporamarama.org/.
SORR’s success relies on the creativity and outreach of people like you. Will you consider volunteering to be part of the event? Our intention is to connect you with the community and to further network the world of DIY, reuse, sewing and crafting.
Volunteers are needed for the following:
Sewing Stations:
Love to sew? Help people at the SORR reinvent and modify.
Operate an area with loads of space and supplies and a sewing machine. When attendees want to change a sweater into a hat or an old pair of jeans into a painter’s apron, you’ll help them figure it out.
SORR PROVIDES: All materials, sewing machine, $50 stipend given to you, free parking
DIY Area/ Workshops:
DIY areas are tables around the room that offer a specific kind of creative idea.
Past ideas have been: how to unknit a sweater, composting organic fibers, transforming socks into IPod covers, bras into handbags, etc… anything that turns used clothing into something else (wearable or not) or garbage of any kind into a wearable fits in this area.
SORR PROVIDES: Sewing machine, $50 stipend, free parking.
Silk Screen:
Each SORR has a silkscreen area that offers local artists’ designs and assistance screening garments.
This area is a “quick fix,” turning would-be trash into something new and exciting with the stroke of inks.
SORR PROVIDES: Budget for supplies, stipend for crew, free parking
Sorters:
Assist with sorting clothes that attendees bring to the event for swapping.
MAJOR PERK: First dibs on the clothes!
Have we got you hooked? Please send an email to swapphilly@gmail.com.
Please provide your name and contact information, area of interest, and great idea. Photos of your work or a link to your website are helpful.
