I am starting to get a bit of a collection of sticks, canes and carvings building up around here and I am debating on taking them to a craft show this spring. I'm having two problems with this.
1st one is parting with them. My wife had her Bunco club last week and one of the gals wanted to buy a bear head carving I had just completed. Although it was flattering that someone was interested in my work it was killer to part with my first bear! ( I reluctantly let it go).
My second thought is actual liability. We are producing pieces that folks might use incorrectly or heaven forbid the piece breaks. As the artist ( IMHO a handcrafted stick is a work of art!) that creates the stick are we liable if someone gets hurt using it? Should we add a disclaimer that the canes/sticks are not medical devices? Or do we create an LLC to sell our sticks at craft shows?
Any thoughts?
