Crafts are a special form of art. While all art holds a piece of the creator's soul (an actress's eternal beauty in film, or a performer's memory in the minds of all who watched), crafts are special because of its physicality. You can hold it in your hands, feel its texture upon your skin, and end up with a more personal experience with the piece of art.
These crafts are also unique in that it has a greater longevity. Containing a piece of the artist's soul, the craft will most likely outlive its creator. The object lingers for a very long time, guaranteeing that the memory of the craftsperson lives on in history.
This is one of the reasons why people in Connecticut find that doing crafts is worth their while. Simply put, it is human nature to want to live forever, if only through something we have created. It motivates us to do what no other species does; alter our environment and etch a mark upon it. On some level, it does help us become immortal of a sort.
People who aspire to be artisans should also consider showing his or her works to the rest of the world, not just to a close circle of friends and family. They should look to different craft shows that are held all around Connecticut, and try to showcase their works to more people. It's a big thing for their crafts to be spread all over the state.
Peddling their creations is not an easy task for many craftspeople. After all, the majority of them still maintain their day jobs; some of them even believe that directly funding their lives through their hobby cheapens it. At best, they believe that it should just be extra income.
Thus, craftspeople find that the Internet is an immense help for them. Not only can they sell their crafted works online through websites, but it makes finding the right craft shows a breeze. It is the information superhighway these days, and the task of hunting for events is way quicker and trustworthier than waiting for fliers. - 15246
