Travel Light Shop Heavy – Ship Artisan Purchases Home
We’ve all been there. You’re browsing an artisan fair, maybe the Tucson Celtic Festival or the Tucson Museum of Art’s Artisan Market, and you find the perfect piece. But then reality hits — there’s no way that gorgeous bowl or substantial cutting board is fitting in your carry-on, and you’re already pushing the weight limit on your checked bag.
Here’s the secret that savvy travelers have figured out: buy here, ship home.
At every festival and market we attend, we come prepared with shipping materials and a partnership with reliable carriers. That beautiful Australian Red Gum Burl Bowl that caught your eye? We can have it carefully packaged and on its way to your door while you’re still enjoying your trip.
That’s the magic of shipping festival finds. When your package arrives at home, it brings back all those good memories of discovery, of the conversation you had with the artist, of that moment when you knew something was meant to be yours.
We’ve shipped everywhere (in the US) — from Alaska to Florida, from tiny mountain towns to major cities. Each package is carefully wrapped, with extra attention paid to protecting delicate resin work and preserving the wood’s finish. We want your piece to arrive in the same condition as when you first fell in love with it.
The practical benefits are obvious: no airline baggage fees, no worrying about TSA restrictions, no trying to fit a round bowl into a square suitcase. But there’s an unexpected bonus too — the anticipation. There’s something wonderful about coming home from a trip and knowing that in a few days, a little piece of that adventure will arrive at your door.
So next time you’re traveling and find yourself at an artisan market, don’t let logistics stop you from bringing home something special. Travel light, shop with your heart, and let us handle the rest. Your future self will thank you when that carefully packed reminder of a perfect day shows up on your doorstep.

🪵 Why We Encourage Festival Shipping
Save your arms for funnel cake.
Let’s be honest: the only heavy lifting you should be doing at a festival is hauling a turkey leg the size of your forearm. And maybe a flower crown or two. But one of our handcrafted walnut charcuterie boards that tells its own story? That doesn’t belong slung over your shoulder as you wander between the falconer and the kettle corn stand.
That’s why we offer festival shipping — and here’s the sweet part: orders over $10 ship absolutely free. Because you deserve convenience, comfort, and maybe even a second funnel cake (we’re not judging).
Why We Do It (And Why Our Customers Love It)
At Sarkanys Rising, our mission is simple: nothing will ever be the same, and our pieces are as distinctive as our customers. When you’re browsing our festival booth, you’re not just shopping — you’re discovering handcrafted utilitarian art that’s been shaped by our hands and hearts.
Maybe you spot one of our signature hybrid-resin rolling pins that sparks kitchen daydreams. Or perhaps it’s a hand-carved keepsake box that feels like it already belongs in your home. Each piece is unique, just like the moment you fall in love with it.
But then reality hits: “How am I going to carry this around all day?”
We’ve been there. And we’ve watched too many people pass up their dream piece because they didn’t want to babysit it while sipping mead in the sun. That’s why we make it ridiculously easy: buy at the booth, and with our free shipping on orders over $10 (which, let’s face it, is basically everything we make), your treasure arrives at your door — safe, sound, and packed with care, wood shavings, and good wishes.
Festival Convenience That Just Makes Sense
Here’s what festival shipping means for you:
- No splinters in your shoulder bag (save those for our workshop stories!)
- No worrying about dropping your one-of-a-kind peppermill during a joust
- No explaining to your spouse why you can’t help carry the snacks
- Free shipping over $10 — because handcrafted joy shouldn’t cost extra to get home
And the best part? When your piece arrives, it’s like getting a surprise twice — once when you discovered it at the festival, and again when it shows up at your door, ready to become part of your daily life.
What Makes Us Different
Every piece we create is handmade in the truest sense — guided by our hands and minds through the entire process. We use both hand and power tools, but it’s the human touch that makes each piece as distinctive as the person who takes it home.
Whether you’re eyeing our:
- Charcuterie boards perfect for entertaining
- Rolling pins that make baking an art form
- Keepsake boxes for life’s treasures
- Custom pieces that tell your story
…each one is crafted to be part of your life, not just decoration.
The Magic of Festival Memories
When you take home a piece from Sarkanys Rising, you’re not just buying functional art — you’re investing in a story that continues long after the festival music fades. Every time you use that cutting board or rolling pin, you’ll remember the day you discovered it, the smell of kettle corn in the air, and the moment something handcrafted called to you.
