Hello, my name is Lisa Hopkins and I'm a new member. I'm a metalsmith making sterling silver (along with some gold) jewelry that features my etched calligraphy and hand drawn artwork. Making jewelry has been my full-time job for just over two years now. I exhibited at my first juried art fair three years ago and have been doing 1-2 a year since then. I intend to do more and have a goal of five for next year. I've enjoyed reading through some of the discussions and blogs here and look forward to participating on this site.

Hello Lisa and welcome. You will have access to a lot of information here to help you with selling your work at art shows. It is a tough way to make a living and this site is dedicated to helping artists.
I agree with Annette. Your work is lovely. I don't know how you can write so small in such little spaces. I am sure you will do well at shows.
If you are looking to add a few shows to your schedule we have a great site called "Calls for Artists". You can find a link at the top of the page. This is a great site full of shows looking for artists for their shows.
Make yourself at home here and I hope to see you around the forums.
Hi Lisa and welcome aboard :) Sounds like you're getting into the art fair world slowly but surely - which sounds like a very wise way of doing it. Your jewellery is lovely - something people will really treasure!

Thank you for the nice welcome, Annette, and for your kind words about my work. I checked out your jewelry as well--beautiful work!
