First market of the year! My artist table set up, new merch and vograce review

I have kickstarted this spring by attending my first market of the year! In this vlog, I do a bunch of market prep work from building shelves to designing the table. It ends up being about 3 weeks of preparation and then 2 days of running the booth to sell my work and meet you in person :)
I also get to debut some new merchandise kindly gifted to me by Vograce! I do a Vograce review of the new items I received and share my thoughts on the quality of the items.

-- About --
I am an Asian-American-Swedish artist living in the beautiful city of Malmö, Sweden. I recently quit my full time job to pursue being an independent artist. I have no idea if I will succeed, but at least I'm giving it a shot to see if I can make it with my ceramic art and illustrations.

What I’ve learned while looking around for manufacturers is that usually, if you want better quality for what you pay for, it’s best to place orders with companies that specialises in one thing compared to offering multiple products.

[@birdietam]

I've been given this tip too! And also to try to find a manufacturer you can talk to directly instead of a middle man

Congratulations on your market! Your set up for the event was perfect - you had everything spaced out really well but you managed to show alot in the small space... Thank you for making these videos because I know they take a long time and they are fascinating and they really show what is behind the process of selling ceramics... Your content is always so energetic and calming at the same time. I appreciate your work so much, thank you!

That totebag is the cutest thing ever

[@robinflanders3752]

Please more market tips!! I'm doing my first market in June and I'm so nervous! Haha!! I've worked in retail for like 10 years, but never my own stuff!!

So nice to see a video from you again! I really love watching your vlogs, they're so cozy but educational at the same time :3 I have my first convention in aroung two weeks, so it's really cool to see how other artists set up their space! Your displays look super nice, I love the combination from wood tones and whites with a few specs of green, it fits your art super well :D Thank you for the beautiful video!

[@birdietam]

Thanks so much for watching! I wish I had the other video ready for you about some market tips. Good luck at your con 😍 it's gonna be so fun!

[@ceceyangg]

Omg i want the lanyards! And the notebooks!

[@Maiberryart]

Such a inspiring and helpful video, I‘m also preparing for my first tiny tabling experience! 🥺✨ Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed watching 🧡

[@birdietam]

You're welcome! The first table experience is so special, congrats and good luck! You will have lots of fun :)

[@MarionJones98]

I absolutely love your set up! I’ve been doing markets for about 2 years now and have been thinking about starting a channel and doing craft market content. I love the whole process so much!

[@birdietam]

Ohh that would be sooo helpful! I only found one couple who had a series about craft markets and the snippets of info they provided were so helpful. I'd love to see more on it

Haddock has the goofiest face he's so cute

[@birdietam]

He is a goofy kitty

Market question ^^ I noticed you did the "who am I" board ... I often go to markets and cons and always have issues with people thinking, I couldn't possible be the maker of all the tings at my booth. I also do art + jewelry + ceramics + other stuff. Does the board help? Do you sometimes feel like having multiple skills and many item categories is like ... a bit of a curse? XD

[@ceceyangg]

If you havent, Can you do a process of sending a manufacturer your desgin and making sure its well in measurement and etc.?

[@birdietam]

I have done it briefly in other videos but not a full video on it. It's not very interesting since there isn't much more involved than sending it and then getting it to review 😅

[@boasortelully6026]

the cat face is so funny xD
