I know a few people who make their living selling arts & crafts. They all sell online, of course, but all of them report that they get the most sales in person. Fairs and festivals, saturday markets, that sort of thing. It's not as easy as just running an Etsy store, but it is more lucrative.

And for all of them, the bulk of their sales go to people who have purchased from them before, or who were referred by people who have purchased from them before.

And yes, all of them charge prices much higher than what you would have thought if you weren't familiar with the industry.
