Learn, make + sell event Maker-Seller Training

The maker to seller training was split into two 2 hour sessions. Participants spent the first part practising and creating a display for their items. Then as a group we all discussed each others displays. We gave each other positive comments and also ways in which we would do things differently.
The next part we talked about pricing our items and how we would decide on a price for each thing we had made. Then at the end of the session participants had the opportunity to label and price their items, ready for the craft fair. Participants were then able to research on the internet other ways of selling craft items, such as Folksy and Etsy.
Nicola spent time with each participant and talked about presentation with the public and ideas on how to sell your work to members of the public.
