Since my first surface pattern design course I’ve heard Surtex was the mecca of all surface pattern design trade shows. Did I mention it’s in New York? I’m on the west coast of Canada and getting over there will cost a pretty penny. So I was thinking. since I’m making all these sales sheets anyways maybe I should look at doing a show closer and smaller than Surtex. Something to learn from and try out first before doing the really big SHOoow.
A few Google searches later, Printsource popped onto my radar. Dang they show in New York too! Oh but wait… wait… AND they have a show in LA! That’s easy enough for me to get to. Oooh! I yelled out to my husband, we need to go to LA this August!
Really that’s all it took to convince him! Printsource is this August 13 and 14th. I’ll be heading there to walk the show, check it out, lurk at the booths and decide if it’s something I want to invest in and invest my time in preparing for next year.
Yep to quote Kathy Phantastic, I’m nerv-cited! and can wait to get back and tell you all about it!
