Today I received my pack of invites for Art in the Pen and the information for exhibitors so I am both excited and worried. Excited because I have made all my glass for the event so I won't run low on stock. Worried because I don't have a clue about how to display my glass, even after years of setting up fairs and markets, when it comes to staging design I suck!
I understand the principles of display such as making sure my display is at different eye levels, grouping in styles and colours, making sure the display materials don't overwhelm the glass, but when it comes to putting this into practice it is a different matter. I have been selecting ideas for display on Pinterest but I will have to buy some furniture to make this kind of display.At least I have the opportunity to go to the Auction Mart next week to measure up my "pen" and make some decisions. If I can get the display right I will feel more confident about booking larger shows and events. Watch this space!
Congratulations Jo! I'm sure your display will be a beautiful as your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Patti. I'll be posting photos of the event in August
DeleteI thought your display at Saltaire was fab, so I'm sure you'll have a great stand. Good luck!
