A lot of things come to mind when you're just starting out as an artist looking to vend. Even seasoned merchants may have a question or two when it comes to uniting the modern commercial world and Ren Fest commerce.
I plan to cover topics such as; the anatomy of a good website, Social Media, Merchanting in the SCA, organizing an event, hosting Demos at your booth, Busking, and more.
All members should FEEL FREE to post questions and comment on content!
I see this as a place for all to learn and a starting ground for interested artists.

We stole the map graphic from MNRF site and modified it with a pointer to our booth to help the "be backs" find us again later in the day. Just thought I'd toss the idea out there for crafters who do really big events. I reduced it so two fit on an 8.5x11 sheet and just copied them in B & W to minimize the copying cost.

Rule one just becasue the metal is not glowing bright orange does not mean it is not hot.
Rule two do not pick up a dark colored metal rod that is onthe ground in the forge area before you test it.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
