Handmade festival... beginning.

So, I have an idea which has been growing and occupying my mind for a while and it's about to be brought to fruition but I need both input and help from you. I would like to put on a Handmade craft show/festival, focusing on the re-emerging interest in Homemade and handcraft. I have been inspired by some women who I knit with who create phenomenal pieces , which are often not portable, which means there is a lot of amazing art going on behind closed doors. There is also an older generation of knitters/weavers/spinners/crafters who are incredible teachers and a great resource to the new gereration of artists, and I would love to facilitate a venue for these people to get together and show their work! 

What I need from you, is input! would you participate in this? would you like to help? I've never done anything like this, especially on this scale and I would love Ideas, information.. anything that you think would be helpful. 
This event will hopefully take place Indie Media fair style, along the corridor of the central library and into the Stevenson Hunt room, and hopefully a screening of this film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evDFo6-RBVc. This had also been a great inspiration to me so take a look!
I can be reached at handmadefestival@gmail.com or through facebook .
Thank you!! I can't wait to hear from you.
