Tips & Advice
- Come ready to shop for holiday gifts: all 200 booths sell items handcrafted by the makers, and commercially manufactured goods aren't allowed.
- Crafters hoping to get in should join the waitlist with WAITING LIST written on both forms and no payment, because all spaces are already full.
- Crafters should bring their own rolling cart, because it's a long walk from the parking lot to the booths and student helpers are limited.
- Waitlisted crafters jurying electronically should send photos of both their finished products and the build process, because both are required to show the work is handmade.
