I've just had an email from a friend, who did a craft fair yesterday (not one of mine) and got chatting to some craft fair regulars.
At this craft fair, it came up in conversation that the word 'craft' is not at all popular with the public. Apparently, 'gift fairs' attract more people...'craft fairs' discourage them....why?
To my mind, 'gift fairs' suggests all sorts of things for sale, including the mass produced cheap imports.....it doesn't suggest high quality handcrafted goods.
What do you think about this? Opinions please.
