All items offered for sale and showcased must be created by YOU, the artist, artisan or craftsperson.
Any items derived from kit work, wholesale, commercially purchased/manufactured products, or items that are in direct conflict with copyright infringement, will not be allowed.
SELECTION:

If you produce multiple product lines (other than what's been selected as your main product category), please let us know as limits are imposed in categories.
PHOTOGRAPHS:
Focus on photos! THESE ARE YOUR BEST PHOTOS! Since we won't be seeing your goods in person when the application is reviewed, your photos must be clear, crisp and in focus and show a good representation of the items you intend to display at the shop.
Think of your photos as your storefront. These product images are your "calling card" that we will use to promote your handmade goods at the shop. Be creative and use a consistent background without obstructions (ONLY YOUR PRODUCT) and don't forget an image of your display set-up. We want to see what you're all about, so please send high resolution photos and not thumbnails.
In order for your application to be curated, we require a submission of: 5 digital images of your work and 1 digital image of your display set-up. Please identify each photo clearly as to what it is - WITH A PRODUCT NAME - representing the "CURRENT" range of work that you intend to have on display. (No thumbnail photos! JPG photo format - 300 dpi - not smaller than 1500 pixels and not larger than 4000 pixels in dimension. Maximum file size per image 20MB.)
