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)
