Seattle Gift Show brings artisans, retailers together

 

Ursula Barton

{Sponsored} Think of Seattle and several things come to mind. One of the main ones is its artistic vibe — an artisan culture that is seen in everything from its museums to its retail destinations.

That’s one of the things that makes the Seattle Gift Show a prime destination for retailers looking to source handmade, artisanal products that bring one-of-a-kind gifts to their shops.

“Purchasing handmade goods is a beautiful agreement between the consumer and the creator to prioritize community and value individual expression,” said Ursula Barton, a painter who will be showcasing her art at the Seattle Gift Show’s Artisan Alley for the first time this year. “I enjoy being a part of this sustainable way of consuming that directly benefits local economies.”

Barton is just one of many artisans who will be on hand during the Show’s inaugural Artisan Alley, showcasing curated, handcrafted designs that are sure to set any retailer apart from other retailers in its area.

“I’m not a flashy-type person, so my table will be simple but,  hopefully, fun to look at,” said Greg Wytcherley of Northwest Foto, who will be displaying his photography at the Show. “I will have a few examples of how my photos can be presented or printed, but mostly I will work out custom orders with people.

“I’m trying to get my work out there for others to enjoy,” he continued.

Barton, too, said she was looking forward to bringing her art to new retailers in new markets, saying that buyers will see an “obsessive passion for what I do” as well as her “high standards to produce quality products that are created locally and sustainably.”

Buyers interested in seeing Barton’s and Wytcherley’s work in person — as well as the work of dozens of other artisans — can see them during the Seattle Gift Show being held Jan. 20-23.
