Along with alternative, green and indie vendors, the show will have music, drinks and a fashion show. (If you’re currently planning your nuptials, definitely check out their wedding giveaway, which includes photography, florals and planning.) You can check out love+bash’s featured vendors here.

Screenprinting Demo at the Spring Show!
The Crafty Supermarket spring show is less than two weeks away, and the excitement is totally palpable. One new thing we’re doing this time around is hosting a live screenprinting demo by the good folks of DIY Printing! Little kids and big kids alike can try their hands at “pulling a print” between 3 and 6 p.m. the day of the show, Saturday, May 7. Bring a T-shirt to print on, or use some of our paper to make a print from one of the pre-made screens.
Not sure what the heck we’re talking about? Screenprinting is a versatile printing medium that’s both accurate and tactile. Have you seen any of the Crafty Supermarket posters (like our latest, printed by Southpaw)? Those are screenprinted! If you’ve got a little one who’s interested in learning how screenprinting works, make sure to come to the show in the afternoon. The demo area will be on the right when you enter the main hall of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, right across from the welcome table.
check out our awesome vendors!
Our official vendor list for the Crafty Supermarket Spring Show is up! Check it out here and start making your shopping list. :) The show is less than a month away now, can you believe it?
By the way, if you’re interested in volunteering to help out on the day of the show, there’s still time to submit your info, and we are still accepting swag for our famous swag bags until May 1!
Seeking volunteers!
Wanna earn some craft karma? Crafty Supermarket’s success is due in no small part to the awesome folks who help us out. We’re looking for volunteers who are available for a two-hour shift on the day of the show—in exchange, you’re guaranteed one of our fab swag bags that people line up all morning for!
There are a number of different things our volunteers do:
- Greeters pass out swag bags first thing in the morning and give out show programs throughout the day.
- Vendor relievers walk around the show and help any vendors who need a break.
- Some volunteers will work outside, helping visitors find their way to parking, the food and the show itself.
- Load-in helpers are needed in the early morning to assist vendors as they bring in their displays.
- Clean-up helpers are needed as the show ends to help stack tables and sweep up.
And we promise you’ll still have time to shop. Fill out our handy dandy form, and we’ll get back to you in the weeks before the show happens. Click here to send in your info to be a volunteer! We’re all booked up with volunteers as of 4/23!
