MELROSE VINTAGE MARKET
I’ve been lucky enough to display my work at multiple shows throughout Phoenix but the most consistent scene has been the Melrose Vintage Market. They have markets throughout the entire year, varying in location based on the heat and demand of the people. I have attended two markets at The Duce and one market in the heart of the Melrose district.
Some other markets I have been a vendor at include - The Valley Girl Market, Pemberton Night Market, Central Arts Market, Knee Deep Denim Market, Pickers Playground, and PS I Love AZ.
RETAIL THERAPY AZ IN SCOTTSDALE FASHION SQUARE
I was accepted into Retail Therapy AZ to sell my ceramics for six months in Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, Arizona. Here I learned how to properly display ceramics in a retail space, how to price pieces, manage my time coming in each month to mix things up, and communicate with a space that holds my pieces regularly.
Seattle Espresso
The best coffee shop in the Tempe/Chandler area is Seattle Espresso. I got to sell my pieces there for a month! You will most likely see my pieces there again so keep an eye out for that. I sold cups, trinket dishes, bud vases, and a couple larger serving dishes.
I hope to use this experience and this platform to fill the shelves of more coffee shops! If you know a coffee shop that is in need of local art I’d lot to chat!
Scraps Market
Scraps Market was started by two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! They approached me at a previous market asking if I would be interested in an arts and crafts themed market and obviously I was thrilled.
Each booth has an interactive element. The first Scraps market I made bolo ties. I had created the little ceramic emblems and then each person go to pick their favorite and choose the cord and length.
The second Scraps market I made ceramic mosaic coasters. The people LOVED this idea. It was so much fun to see everyone creativity shine through such a simple and sweet project.
