Renegade Holiday Craft Fair

This holiday season, Revisions Design Studio decided to participate in the Renegade Holiday Craft Fair!  After much success with the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago which was held outside on Division Street, we really wanted to give the indoor version a try.  With over 1500 applicants to this particular holiday craft fair, the Pulaski Field House was only able to accommodate about 300 vendors so we felt very lucky to be able to get into this one. 

 With our last experience with the Renegade, we needed to learn a few things about high traffic sales.  The usage of Square-Ups in combination with our smart phone technology allowed much easier processing of transactions.  For all those "craft-fairers" out there, if you are interested in accepting credit cards, keeping track of your cash till, and value a very low rate on the sales, you really need to jump on this wagon.  Sign up is easy, deposits automatically go into your business 
account the next day, and customers can even receive a receipt via email or text.

Laser Cutting Profile Candlesticks

The Epilog Helix Laser Cutter is one of our more advanced pieces of equipment here at Revisions Design Studio.  Acquired about a year and a half ago, this machine has the ability to cut and raster (engrave) several different types of materials from what are called CAD or vector files.

Here's a shot of the laser cutter opened up after carving out a few of our Profile Candlesticks.  One sheet of clear acrylic is able to produce several products at a time making this process extremely efficient in both time and material consumption.

Dirty Handed Designers

At Revisions Design Studio, our designers are not afraid to get their hands dirty! Here we have Janna cleaning porcelain doves and birds while Michele is busy scraping Incandelescent greenware. Normally, the studio crew will take several days off from their computers and prototyping stations to replenish our studio stockpile.
