Urban Craft Uprising :: Summer Show 2010!

Revisit all the great vendors you saw at UCU's 2010 Summer Show!

What people are saying about the Urban Craft Uprising...

From our vendors:

"We heart Urban Craft Uprising, it's one of our favorite/most profitable shows. The organizers do an amazing job communicating, providing volunteers to watch the booth when bathroom breaks are necessary, and they get tons of people through those doors. It's a big trip for us from NC, but those Northern West Coasters never get to see our product at shows, so it's totally worth the cost if you think about the exposure alone. Plus, Seattle is *so* great, people want & love to buy handmade there, and it shows in our sales. Go UCU!"
- Elijah & Rhonda of Figs and Ginger

"Would you believe that I am still counting down the days until the next Urban Craft Uprising? It's literally in the back of my mind -- every single day. I don't know if I can put my finger on it -- but there's just something about that show -- something aside from the piles of money -- that really just lifts my spirits. Maybe it's 10,000 people all tramping through the Seattle Center to get to a huge room filled with handmade crafts? Maybe there's something about that that just makes me like people in general a little more. Yes, it's true. I'm saying the UCU is good for humanity. And it is."
- Rosalie Gale from Ugly Baby

UCU is my FAVORITE craft show. I have looked forward to it each year as much as the holidays. Now that there is a summer show too it is just amazing! Last year Nicky and I were married on July 31st and I kid you not I was up the next morning loading in for the summer show. There is so much to love....a huge craft show...variety...and everyone has all their new creations out. My mom even planned her 2008 winter trip out to coincide with the show because she had heard so much about it!"
- Jesse and Nicky of Estrella Soaps

From our fans:

"5 Stars and then some, and then some more for this event! I can honestly say I have never been to a craft event including holiday bazzars (and I've been to many over the many years) that included quality crafts, unique items, cute display booths and a variety of items!"
Sandie L., Seattle, WA

"So much cute stuff! I wanted to buy it all! These are items that you will NEVER see in stores... unless it's a little boutique shop.. maybe. They are creative, unique, and handmade with love. Yes, the prices are going to be more expensive than the mass-manufactured items you can buy at department store, but these are *special*."
Jennifer L., Bellevue, WA
