In this online session designed for the Casa Grande community, you will learn about expert tricks to discover hidden treasures at craft fairs. We will explore simple, effective methods for spotting high-quality, unique pieces that others might overlook, whether you're shopping locally or online. Understand how to navigate any craft fair with confidence and find items you'll truly value.

Preparation is a critical first step. Before you head to a local Casa Grande market or a larger regional event, get insights on how to research vendors and identify the types of crafts you're most interested in, from Southwestern pottery to modern jewelry. We will cover how to set a budget and a clear goal for your visit. This simple planning helps you stay focused and makes your time at the fair more productive and enjoyable.

Once you are there, the real discovery begins. Learn about navigating the layout of a fair, whether it is a small market in downtown Casa Grande or a large festival. We will explore techniques for scanning booths quickly to identify potential gems. You'll understand how to look past the initial presentation and see the true potential in an artist's work. Discovering value is about seeing what others miss.

Assessing quality is a crucial skill. You will get insights on what to look for in different types of crafts you might find in Arizona and beyond, from pottery and woodwork to textiles and jewelry. We will discuss things like:

• Material quality and durability.
• Attention to detail in the finishing.
• Originality of the design.
• The overall construction and sturdiness of the item.

Learning to spot these details ensures you bring home items that are not only beautiful but also built to last. While this session is focused on our Casa Grande audience, the principles are universal, providing you with valuable knowledge for finding treasures at any market, anywhere in the world.
