I have never really done an art fair, so here we go! I have some trepidations, sure. First, it is going to snow on the morning of the bazaar, so getting there will be something special. Second, it is a long day of sitting and not "making art". I hope the visitors prove interesting. Luckily my cousin Bebe will be assisting me, she is an experienced fair seller of ceramics. Here is the plug, her work is amazing. Bebe_Federmann or on Etsy: Bebe_FedermannDesigns Simply gorgeous work!
Now back to the fair experience. In preparation, I have several different series to sell, all at pretty much the same price point. Mini paintings, art photos on hanging plaques, mini surfboard hanging ornaments, and motorcycle/bike painted tools with magnetic backing. And, I am introducing Giclee prints, that will be my money maker if they sell! Below is an explaination of the giclee print, in case you are unfamiliar.
"Giclee printing (pronounced zhee-clay) is a method of printing to create high quality prints. Originating from the French term, “la giclĂ©e,” it means, “that which is sprayed or squirted.” Giclee printing began in the 1980s, when high-resolution digital scans were used in conjunction with archival quality inks. In 1991, printmaker Jack Duganne coined the term for fine digital prints that are made on inkjet printers.The intention of giclee printing is to produce a product at a higher quality and with a longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer."
Well, wish me luck! The hardest part will be actually getting there.
Come on by if anywhere near Long Island City, all welcome.
Thank you for stopping by!
Cheers, Callie
