Demo day at the market brought some odd requests for my gear
I did a live glassblowing spot at the town fair last Saturday. A bunch of folks walked up and wanted to buy my blowpipe right then and there, like it was a souvenir. They didn't get that it's not just a prop, but a piece of equipment that needs know-how to handle. Kinda makes you think about how people view what we do, right?

Totally feel you on people not getting it's real equipment. Had someone try to buy my potter's wheel right off the stand once.

That potter's wheel story sounds like a simple mistake to me. Most folks just don't know what they're looking at. I'd shrug it off and move on.

How do people not see it's actual working gear? I get that all the time with my stuff too... once had a guy offer me cash for my stand mixer at a craft fair. He thought it was just for display and wanted to take it home right then. I was so shocked I just stared at him for a minute... it's like they think we're running a garage sale instead of making things. Honestly, some days you just want to put up a sign saying "not for sale" on everything.
