Okay, so I know which I prefer. I love meeting old friends, catching up with what they’re doing and seeing new people with their artwork in person. However during the last year I have learnt it’s also quite possible to keep in touch with people through social media. It’s not quite the same but at least it is some human interaction. One of the real pleasures of handmade Items is that you know somebody has put their heart and soul into the designing and making that goes into producing it. There’s a good chance it’s the only one in existence and you get to meet the person who made it and even take it home with you.
I’ve managed to interact with several of my craft market friends on Instagram and Facebook. I’ve even met some new people virtually at least, and got to see how they make pieces as well as the final product. You can learn about the different stages of the creative process.
Coming up soon is the Fargo online Mother’s Day market. There will be familiar faces there as well as lots of new makers so I’m looking forward to see what’s on offer. Following them on Instagram or Facebook I’ll be able to see the buildup that goes into preparing work for a market such as this. Those of you that already follow me on Instagram or Facebook will know I like to share technical parts as well as showing off something when I finished it.
Do join us online if you can look for the Fargo Instagram or Facebook accounts, they love to highlight who is involved and you almost feel as though you do know them. We areindividuals, with very different backgrounds and products. But as a team we can produce a fascinating event. I hope you’re able to come and just have a browse absolutely no obligation to buy!
Hope to see you there!
