CONNECT. CREATE. GROW.

Doesn’t it sound great to make a living from doing what you love? But of course it’s never that simple. There is a lot to learn along the way, and no short cuts that will bring your goal closer.

We have made it our job to deliver a more direct route to success, so that you can live that dream, and sell your handmade products for a profit. One day you could actually work full-time as a designer, maker or artisan.

We have created a series of seminars that are packed with information, presentations, and workshops to fine-tune your skills, fill up your toolkit and get you on your way to success, in the shortest time possible.

The exact date and location of this event is currently not confirmed. However you can use the form below to register your interest. When we have made all of the final arrangements we will let you know.

Our next seminar is: MAKING MARKETS WORK

We invite you to the second seminar in the series, CONNECT, CREATE, GROW. This time we’re going to take a deep-dive into markets. We have arranged and hosted over 300 craft markets, popups and workshops, so we have a whole lot to share with you. From our observations and experiences, to our tips, tricks and insider info.

For most of us, selling at markets is an essential part of building our handmade business. Not only does it give us the opportunity to sell our products, but it also allows us to meet our audience, get feedback, and build our own creative network.

This seminar will be presented in English.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to create lasting connecting with your customers.
• How to create a stunning display that will make you stand out from the crowd.
• How to maximise your market experience – harness the full potential of each event to promote and grow your business.
• How to sell by sharing your passion – The non-sleazy approach.
• There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share your own experiences too.
