As well as the usual fantastic programme of arts and crafts workshops there’s a couple of highlights in store at Creative Open Workshops in the Custard Factory. The first is this month’s Handmade Market on 17th July, featuring goods from local artists and designer-makers.
The second is Leona Baker of Lady Luck Rules OK giving a ‘Jewellery Workshop & Trade Secrets Talk’ on Sunday 1st August:
The Trade Secrets Talk will cover topics such as how to start, run & grow an independent creative business; how to successfully sell online; PR, marketing and social media; wholesale and trade shows; and how to deal with the tough stuff like competitors and copycats.
The jewellery workshop will reveal all our unique production methods & materials including how we made our personalised jewellery, enamel & gold charms, glittery broken hearts, printed acrylic pendants, fuzzy wooden animals & mixed media Midnight Forest designs. I’ll also detail the importance of sampling, working with manufacturers, where to source and practical tips on how to get the best results. The techniques involved can also be applied to many other products inc. accessories, clothing, homewares, greetings cards and stationery….
The jam packed 3 hour event will fill your head with oodles of inspiration and a wealth of knowledge enabling you to transform your ideas and designs into awesome products to make, promote and sell.
See the event page on the Lady Luck Rules OK website for booking details.
