The 2026 Craft Fest Designer!

Drumroll….this year our Fest designer is Christina Lang of See Lang Design (woo!). It’ll be a mash up of her intricately designed paper quilling and her hand lettering and sketching skills! She has taken the Fargo crafty world by (paper) storm and also shared her love of handmade with a variety of craft classes. While you won’t get a sneak peek until January, you can get to know the creative mind of Christina below!

You’ll be our 2026 Unglued Craft Fest poster designer! Where is some of your inspo coming from to design it?

That’s easy, Unglued. If you’ve ever stepped in the shop, you can see the magic visually with all the art and smells of candles and candy. And if you’ve ever been to a class, retreat, or camp you can feel the Unglued magic. Now I just have to try to capture that in paper.

You both quill and doodle/ handletter—plus do graphic design and so much more! How did you nail down quilling as your focus for a handcrafted small business?

Quilling started as my “get off the computer and use my hands” time and then when we moved back to ND from NY I had more time to focus on quilling. My friends had encouraged me to sell and teach and then we moved to Fargo where it really took off. I found my niche and my people.

What is one of your most popular items you sell at craft markets?

I would say state shapes—ND is a great shape for quilling. A cute lil rectangle with a hip pop where Fargo is, because let’s be honest we are the most fun.

What is something people can look forward from you in 2026 and See Lang Design?

Hopefully quilling in some large scale installations. I did a large installation this summer of quilling and it really sparked some interest. I would also love to get a kit together to introduce and share quilling with more people.

What do you enjoy most about doing craft markets?

I love when someone falls in love with a piece, and then when they adopt it I know it’s going somewhere where it’ll be loved and going to bring magic to someone’s space.

What is the most challenging thing?

The Business side of all the creative fun…it’s something we don’t talk about enough and that makes it seem so scary and daunting to us on the creative side.

How do you stay inspired through all these years you’ve done so far as a handcrafted business?

It’s in my blood, it’s a love that is just part of me. I was made to create and inspiration is literally all around. It can be in pop culture, or a pattern in a sweater, or a field of crops I see art and inspo everyday… which is why my sketchbook is always in tow.

What is one word that describes you?

Extra, but like guacamole… totally worth it.

Brewhalla Summer Craft Market
Brewhalla, Fargo
Sunday, June 7, 2025
Noon–6 p.m.

Nothing says summer like a cold beer and a local market. The Brewhalla Summer Craft Market returns in June with an easygoing, festive atmosphere that pairs Fargo’s maker magic with its love of craft brews. Wander through Brewhalla’s vendor lineup while sipping something local, find new favorites, and meet the makers behind every handmade treasure.

From vintage-inspired goods to art prints and locally made snacks, it’s the perfect Sunday outing that’s casual, creative, and unmistakably Fargo.

What advice would you give to a newbie in the craft market world?

Just get out there. I failed so many times before I made one sale. And do what you love. If you love it and believe in it the rest will follow…

How do you craft up your booth display you do? Any tips for first timers?

Keep it simple. Iif you focus so hard on display you can forget the important steps, like pricing and sharing your contact info. I try to keep my background neutral and let the art do the work. Oh and wear good shoes.
