It's a sorry state of affairs the way we are bombarded by crap from China while artisans struggle to get a foot in the door. I suppose that's just the way of the world. Craft fairs may be a possible starting point, but I imagine that would be a lot of legwork for relatively small returns.I wished I could get sufficient funds to live from turning but its a hard struggl even for the professionals
