Old Mill Shop Consignment (Artisans, Bakers, Authors)
About the registration
We are excited to welcome returning and new artisans, bakers and local authors to the Old Mill Shop for the 81st Fair!
During the Fair, the Waterford Foundation offers fair-goers a selection of one-of-a-kind handmade items, yummy treats and books from more than 80 juried artisans, bakers and authors at our venue "The Old Mill Shop".
Functional and decorative items will be accepted. clay, fiber/textiles, furniture (small), glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, and wood are accepted and attractively displayed in the lovely, historic Mill.
Books are accepted from local authors. We encourage authors to participate in a "meet & greet"/book signing during the Fair, but it is not required.
Baked goods will be accepted as per the guidelines laid out in the Baked Goods
Details document, which can be found in the "related files" section of this application. All Consignors should review the documents in the "related files" section for more details.
If you are a returning consignor please upload one image representative of your work or if you have new items that have not been juried before upload images of the new work(s). NEW applicants must include images representative of all of the items you will sell (up to 10 images) and of your workspace or studio.
Upon jury selection you will be sent the Consignment Record (inventory) spreadsheet for completion. This spreadsheet needs to be complete prior to arriving for inventory check in. You will also list if you are bringing a 6' folding table and any display items on this form.
The Old Mill is located at the western end of the village at 40105 Main St, Waterford, VA 20197.
