Have you ever demonstrated a craft or crafts?

I have done a few small demos on how to make home made ornaments for Christmas. It was a pretty big shock for some people as I don't look or come off like the type of person that would do any type of crafting. It was a little weird to have people watch me go through the steps but it was really cool to see them make their own things and walk away with a huge smile on their face.

Hi there!

I did once demonstrated a craft, a cross stitch. I've taught home economics teachers from different schools how to cross stitch. Usually different schools invite for a demonstration. School officials were looking for other kinds of crafts to introduce to their students and be included in their school curriculum and they have chosen cross stitching. Luckily my family owns a craft store specializing in cross stitch products so we were invited. It was really fun especially when you see that your audience is really willing to learn.

I don't actually demonstrate a craft but do sell my crafts at craft fairs during the summer months. While I am sitting behind a table at the fair, I will work on a project but most people don't want to see how it's made, they want to buy the finished project. I make crafts with plastic canvas and yarn. Most of the items I sell I also use daily. Am really testing the durability of the item before it's sold to the public. I design such things as a toothbrush holder, standing eyeglass holder and a small holder to carry credit cards and driver's license. These sell well.
Will load a photo below of a Christmas angel I made a few years ago. Gave these as gifts one year to family and friends. They are so time consuming so I don't make them any longer.

I did a small demonstation for polymer clay at a craft store that went out of business recently (pushed out by AC Moore and Michaels)
I demonstrated how to make beads, pendants, ornaments, etc. The women seemed to enjoy themselves. One girl, who came with her Mom or an Aunt, I still run into from time to time at Michaels or a craft show. She asks about certain types of clay and I think she's about to move away from polymer and work with "real" clay, as she asked me about kilns the last time I saw her.

As nervous as I was about doing the little class, it was rewarding to see the women enjoyed themselves and the items they made with their own hands.
I don't know that I'd do another class, but in the end it was enjoyable!

I used to work at a pioneer village, and I would demonstrate all sorts of stuff, like weaving, spinning, baking. It was horrible when you messed up with all those people watching.

Dear friend,
During my school days we have a period called Special progress work (SPW) in this period we used make baskets, paint on pots, make covers with papers, brooms, craves woods, clay models and finally each class puts all this crafts and other things for exhibition once in every year. Later they are left for sale and the creation made by the student which is sold for highest price is given a prize too.

I have not done any,but have seen several demonstrations.
