Hello everyone, The 2nd Burner Bazaar will be on MARCH 7TH, THIS TIME
IT WILL START AT 7PM.
The idea behind this is to provide a place for people who make stuff
or have stuff to sell a place to display their wares. Also, to provide
a place for a community garage sale, all the stuff that you have that
while you don't have a use for it someone else might. And, to provide
a place for people to have stuff deconstructed and/or fabricated
and/or to learn how to do it themselves. I want this to be costuming
resource, matching people with needs with people with skills and/or
stuff, a arts and crafts resource, and a green products resource. An
event the encourages the reusing of stuff and things. For the 2nd
bazaar, we are asking for a $10 tabling fee OR 10% OF YOUR TAKE
WHICHEVER IS GREATER if you want to display your wares or offer a
service or a workshop for a fee. If you want to offer a free workshop,
there will be no charge to table. It will be free to general public,
to anyone who simply wants to attend. Ultimately, we would like this
to become a revenue stream to help support the studio and to be
profitable for everyone involved. Another hope and goal that I have
for this event, is that it will help to start the sourcing of
Steampunk clothing and fashion in the DC area. I am especially
interested in this, so depending on how things go we might be able to
help fund something. TO ENCOURAGE THIS WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A
STEAMPUNK FASHION SHOW AT THE 3RD BURNER BAZAAR WITH IS SET FOR
SATURDAY, APRIL 11TH. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE
FASHION SHOW PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN
START PUTTING TOGETHER THE SHOW. To give you an idea, some of the
stuff that I will be selling there are: solar christmas lights, glow
poi, staffs, handmade patchwork wrap skirts from The Mayan Connection,
some men's clothing from the Edun collection and some other super
cool solar gadgets. I may also be hitting some of the local thrift
stores for stuff that other people simply must have.AND, THIS TIME WE
WILL HAVE SOME VEGAN CUPCAKES AND RAW FOOD OFFERINGS FROM TWO OF OUR
NEWER LADY BURNERS. Some of the vendors that we had last time included
a professional artist selling prints and offered portraits on site,
another sold professional photographs and others sold costumes and
costuming related stuff and yet another garage style type stuff.
Please let me know if you are interested in tabling or offering a
workshop or service as soon as possible so that we can make sure to
have enough tables. Bring on the sewing machines and surgers and seem
rippers and lets create some funky, fun stuff. We will have a DJ
playing some chill tunes and refreshments will be available. Speaking
of which if you want table/sell any food items, bring them on too, as
I am sure we will work up quite an appetite with all the creative
energy being spent. So, please let me know if you are interested in
tabling as soon as possible because we have a limited number of tables
and I need to know if I need to get more and how many. Also, please
let me know if you are simply interested in attending so that we can
gauge interest in this idea and prepare adequately for the number of
people who want to attend. Event deets: Burner Bazaar Contradiction
