Can I place an ad to sell used studio / workshop equipment or craft supplies?
YES!

I’m seeking or hiring for a craft related job. Can I place an ad here?
YES!

Are home + studio rental and sales listings okay?
YES! But, they need to have a link to Maine craft such as: the owner is a MCA member, the property is a studio rental/sale, the property is uniquely suited to artists and in Maine. We don’t want to list general real estate sales and rentals.

I would like to advertise my work and website. Can I place an ad here?
NO, not here, but that can be listed in your member profile OR you might consider our Co-Op Advertising opportunities.

I’m looking to hire someone to create an e-commerce website for my business. Can I place an ad here?
YES!

I offer a professional service that applies to craft artists (web design, bookkeeping, marketing)
YES!

Can I post advertisements for public events?
NO, not here, but you can submit calls for artists/ participants for the event.

Can non-MCA members list ads in Craft Classifieds?
YES! As long as the listing is Maine craft related and fits into the types of listing we are sharing. As with all listings, if we determine it doesn’t fit in we will let you know. & we always welcome new members – please consider joining! Click here for more info.

Trimline Canopy by Flourish Canopies

Trimline canopy by Flourish Canopies.  I’ve used this tent for several years for outdoor fine craft shows as well as used the frame for indoor shows.  This tent is the BEST.  It does not leak and holds steady in windy bad weather.  It is sturdy and the industry’s best for outdoor shows.  This is the standard model with additional stabilizing bars on the bottom of 3 sides.  Works well as a corner booth also.  This tent currently sells for just over $1860 + $135 for the additional stabilizing bars.

Asking $900 OBO | https://www.flourishdisplays.com/trimline_features

Industrial Slip Casting Table

Lehman Industrial Slip Casting Table: This Slip Casting Table is made for industrial-scale production with plaster slip casting molds. The open-top design is perfect for draining molds into. This is a large piece of equipment with a fiberglass tank that holds 30 gallons. The top is covered with dowels that can be removed individually. This also comes with a custom wood tabletop cover. Has a functioning mixing motor and slip-pump nozzle. This is the perfect piece of equipment for a large production studio. This is too big for our educational use at the college. It does not get used enough and is too large for our space. We are hoping it finds a home with a dedicated production slip caster. They don’t make tables this big anymore; smaller, newer ones sell for over 1500. Asking $1000.00.
