Consignment Shops in Texas for Makers & Artists

These 18 shops say they take work on consignment: you supply the stock and get paid when it sells. All are in Texas; see all 126 nationwide or the Austin page or the Houston page or the Dallas–Fort Worth page.

Quick tips

On consignment you lend the shop your stock and get paid only when it sells, minus the shop's cut. Splits vary a lot, and some shops also charge a monthly or up-front fee, which can matter more than the split.
