Did you know that the population of Baltimore, MD, is 651,154 as of the 2000 census? Did you know certain E. A. Poe published his second book, Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems, whilst living with family in Baltimore? And did you know that we will be there live in living color for The American Craft Council Show Baltimore? The show is February 22-24, 2008.
It is a long haul from our shop in Seattle. Our fearless leader, Eli, will be wandering out to our East coast front solo.
This is really a great honor for Alchemy Goods. The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore is a juried event. This means that a panel decides whether one may show one’s wares at the show or not. Out of the 90 applications, we are one of the 17 New Wave Craft Artists that made it into the show. Our booth will be in the New Wave Craft Artist section, and it’ll be interesting to see who else will be in the this area reserved for up and coming folks.
Conventions and shows alway yield a very busy workshop weeks prior to the event. Just recently we attended the Urban Craft Uprising event, and the Thread Show. Both were stellar events. We always hand out a ton of our recycled business cards, and since we make those right here in our shop, we’ll be busy putting those together.
Since the trip is so long, Eli will be creating a custom booth for use at the show. Our usual booth will be streamlined and customized just for this event.
We will have all of our merchandise at the show to peruse and buy. The dates and times for the show are:
- Friday, February 22 (10 am - 9 pm)
- Saturday, February 23 (10 am - 6 pm)
- Sunday, February 24 (10 am - 5 pm)

American Craft Show is the famous show.This is really a great honor for Alchemy Goods.
I loved seeing you at the ACC; I thought the particular section (young, up-and-coming artists focused on beautifully designed products using recycled goods) was the best part of the show–and I’ve been coming for several years. I’d like to continue a conversation started there, about using advertising mesh for draperies. Our MBedroom in a Baltimore rowhouse will have a window approximately 14′ wide x 8.5′ tall. Is it feasible to make 2 panels, 8′-9′ x 8.5′, with grommeted top hem and finished bottom hem, to hang from a slender steel rod? We’d slide the panels onto the rod, and open and shut the drapes by hand. We’d expect some degree of privacy with the mesh, and we’re open to a wide variety of designs and colors (preferably left-overs from architectural or art sites, or sports, or events–no alcohol ads, though–it’s near a college campus!). Let me know if fabricating and shipping the drapes to B’more would be too expensive to justify keeping the mesh out of a landfill.
Keep up the good work!
