Here at Handmade Market Chicago, we want to officially thank the sellers and visitors for making 2011 such a blast and success; ending the year with a bang. The last show of 2011, December 10, closed our craft season on a high note. Let’s make 2012 just as good, if not better.

Thanks for your support year after year. Buy local. Buy handmade.

There are a couple of changes this season.
1. The threshold is being increased for the approval of sellers. Here are the new guidelines.
All of your items must be handmade by you. In addition, the components you use must be handmade by you or significantly altered from their original state. This second requirement applies most often but not exclusively to jewelry sellers. Examples that would qualify would be silver smithing, upcycling, chainmaille, fused or blown glass, resin work, etc.
If you have been an approved seller in the past and are not sure how this new requirement impacts you, please email: Heather.
2. Prices will stay the same as this year. The cancellation fee is being increases to $10. Keeping and maintaining a waiting list and filling cancellations takes a significant amount of time and energy and we would like to discourage cancellations as much as possible. As always, if you arrange for a suitable and approved replacement on your own, there is no fee.
3. If you haven’t sold with us before and have not been approved to sell, you should take care of that now. Tables sell quickly and you can’t book until you are approved.
Thanks.
