The 2007 Handmade Arcade will be held Saturday, November 10 (11am-7pm) and Sunday, November 11 (11am-5pm) at Construction Junction, 214 N. Lexington Street, in the Point Breeze neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Applications are now available on the Handmade Arcade website, so be sure to reserve your booth!
For those who don’t know, Handmade Arcade is Pittsburgh premiere indie craft show. The event won the 2006 People’s Choice Award for favorite art experience and is an excellent venue for independent artists of all kinds. Having had the pleasure of meeting Gloria Forouzan and many of the members of the Pittsburgh indie scene while attending Craft Congress, I can tell you that you won’t find better hosts- especially if you are traveling to the area just for the show!

Since Craft Revolution is going audio, we thought we’d give you a chance to join in the fun! This time, we want you to post an audio commercial for your website or new product. That’s right!

All you have to do is submit your commercial and we’ll add it to the podcast! Keep it clean, keep the commercial to 60 seconds or less and of course- HAVE FUN!

– Don’t have a microphone? Don’t worry! You can record your commercial over the phone by calling (315) 646-5357.

– Have a microphone but no way to record? Try leaving your commercial as a Voice Message online (on the right side of this website)!

Craft Revolution (of course) reserves the right to deny any commercial based on content, clarity of message and for any other reason deemed necessary.

Since we launched in March 2005, the one thing we’ve heard over and over from crafters is that they need help running their businesses but they just don’t have the time to take a class or sit down and read a book. That’s why we’re launching the Craft Revolution Cast- The brand new podcast all about starting, running and growing a successful crafts business. Every episode will feature advice from experts, other professional crafters, and feedback from you, our listeners. The best part? All you have to do is listen.

Starting in August, we’ll bring you a new episode each month that focuses on a specific aspect of running a crafts business. We do have some great topics lined up, but this show is for you. If there’s something you’d like us to talk about, send us an email or leave us a voice mail. We’ll do our best to find the answers you need.

In fact, you can start giving your input now by filing out a simple survey for us.  Just click here and you’ll be off and running! 

Thanks for listening. We’ll see you in August!
