I began my career as a teacher and have taught everything from algebra to jewelry making. When I started looking around at my site for topics I hadn't covered, I was surprised to realize I hadn't really written about how to teach your crafts.

As often happens when I start writing, one article turned into five, and now you have a full series on how to teach your crafts. The first article featured this week shows you how to assess your own craft to determine what you need to plan, organize, and make happen before you start your first class.

In the timely tips from past articles, we'll look at craft booths, which is always a hot topic heading into the summer craft show season. First, we'll take a look at 10 displays that make excellent use of booth signs to draw attention and communicate with customers. Whether you want to create something very large-scale for your own booth, or include a few smaller signs throughout your display, you'll find examples that show how different types of signs affect the overall effectiveness of a booth.

Next, 8 photos to help you choose portable flooring for your craft booth. While you can get away without flooring at some shows (particularly outdoor ones on grass), some shows require you to provide flooring for your display. If you need to add flooring, these photos will give you ideas for your own booth. 

Finally, an important tip for those in the market for a craft tent.

What's NEW THIS WEEK?

How to Be a Crafts Teacher: Some crafts are fairly straightforward to teach, others require careful planning for space, equipment needs, and safety. The first article in the series on teaching crafts shows you how to think through the logistics of teaching your own craft to determine how to make your class a success.
