It's undeniable that arts and crafts is one of the most satisfying pastimes a person can do. Something that is both artistic and tactile is something distinct from other art forms like song and dance, for example. A crafted item is tangible in your hands and this artistic object will be like a treat to your senses.
As such, it is not unusual for various craftspeople to turn up in California. As the people pursue their various lives here, they often want to stop for awhile and just appreciate the finer things. Craftspeople are experts at this; their works echo life itself.
If you are one of these craftspeople situated (or thinking of moving to) California, then perhaps you'd want to sell your crafts at the various craft shows occuring annually in the state. But how do you go about it? In this year alone, after all, there are 849 craft fairs scheduled; and we all know that you should choose which fair to attend to carefully.
Well, you do have access to the Internet (you wouldn't be reading this otherwise), the leading source of information these days. A casual search will lead you to online listings of craft shows with little problems. From there, you can get the contact information of whoever is handling the event. Do, this, and you have already completed the first step.
Communication is an integral skill to learn, of course, and this skill must be utilized correctly in selling, starting with the event organizers. You have their contact information, give them a call or meet up with them and inquire about how they run things. Normally, these craft shows will have you pay a certain amount to use their booths, but that's where the similarity ends. Benefits included in the fee will vary; for example, some offer access to electrical outlets, while most do not. It's best to know small things like these before anything, so you won't be troubled afterwards.
