Today I will set up my booth at the Atlantic Craft Trade Show here in Halifax. I participate in this wholesale industry event every year, and particularly enjoy seeing all my wonderful colleagues in the high-level crafting community. This will also be a good opportunity to personally connect with many of the gallery owners that represent my work. The Craft Alliance, a wonderfully supportive organization, has an ‘incoming buyer’ program, where they invite gallery owners from elsewhere. This is how I connected with the lovely Mobilia Gallery from Cambridge, MA, who now carry my work. This year, I will also see Cheryl Fraser of Zilberschmuck in Toronto again, and Lisa Pai of L.A. Pai Gallery in Ottawa. And who knows who else I might meet?
