What is the Renegade Craft Fair?
The Renegade Craft Fair is an edgy D.I.Y. event showcasing a ton of the coolest crafts from all over the country. We, Sue Blatt and Kathleen Habbley, came up with this event after searching for venues to sell our own stuff. We couldn't find anything that appealed to us...other fairs seemed too stuffy so we just decided to start our own. Now we're in our third year and touring to other cities so keep your eyes peeled for the Renegade Craft Fair in your city, 'cause we might be there soon!
What kinds of crafts will be there?
When starting the fair, we wanted to set our event apart from traditional craft fairs by tapping into the established DIY craft movement that already had a presence online and in indie magazines, but had yet to reach the public thru a festival setting. We're looking for all sorts of cool crafty stuff...knitting, jewelry, sewn items, paper goods, silkscreened items, woodworking, comics, zines, cosmetics...you name it!

hey, i just read about this from the RES MAGAZINE email newsletter!
