PATCHWORK SHOW - spring 2022

WHAT IS AN EXPERIENCE BOOTH?

Some examples of Experience Booths include DIY crafting, tarot readings, face painting, some types of musicians, massages, yoga, etc.

Our experience booths are intended for non-profits, businesses that don’t fit under our description of handmade vendors and service providers. Experience booths are geared for vendors who will be using the space to share about their business or service rather than sell at the show. You CAN sell things as a part of your experience booth, but that shouldn’t be your main focus. If you are a handmade vendor who is interested in providing an experience as an extension of your booth in exchange for a discount, please fill out our craft vendor application.

Vendors who host an Experience Booth will have the opportunity to make connections with potential clients, network with the local artist community as well as hone their craft to a new audience. In exchange for the complimentary experience that you provide to Patchwork Show attendees, your booth fee will be waived. (Tip/suggested donation jars are permitted.)

To help promote you and your Experience Booth, we will share about your DIY project and link to your online information in our newsletter, website and across our social media platforms to our collective audience of 100,000+ subscribers and followers.

Interested but not sure what your experience should be or how to make it happen? Email spaulding@dearhandmadelife.com for help.

GUIDELINES FOR EXPERIENCE BOOTHS:

Experience Booth spaces are limited so not all who apply will be accepted.

ALL EXPERIENCE BOOTHS MUST ADHERE TO COVID GUIDELINES. PLEASE EMAIL SPAULDING@DEARHANDMADELIFE.COM IF YOU’RE NOT SURE IF YOUR EXPERIENCE IS SUITABLE.

Vendors are responsible for providing all supplies and staffing for the experience. The experience must take place within your booth. If your experience is chosen, you will be notified via email. Patchwork Show provides the space for your booth, however, we are UNABLE to provide tables, chairs, tents, electricity, water, etc. You will need to bring these and any other necessary items for your booth.
