Have you ever wondered just how to get your work sold in a shop? Or maybe how you get into a Trade Fair? What about exhibitions and craft fairs? When the competition is strong, how do you stand out from the crowd, and what makes a successful application?

In this event we hear from 3 industry professionals on how to make succesful applications to Retail and Online Outlets (Winter's Moon), Trade Fairs (British Craft Trade Fair) and Exhibitions and Craft Fairs (Brighton Made)

About the Speakers:

Jon Tutton - Brighton MADE

MADE Brighton is an annual Design and Craft Fair held at The Corn Exchange in Brighton. The event, organised by Tutton and Young Ltd, showcases some of the best designer-makers in the country. Now in it's 11th year, MADE Brighton is well established as a showcase and forum for contemporary crafts and design

Julia Grant - Winter's Moon

Winter's Moon is a studio in Chichester that specialises in creating modern and vintage homeware. Having started out selling via open house sales, Winter's Moon moved to selling online in 2009, and since then has gone from strength to strength. Their site, complete with stunning images and a vibrant blog, is an exemplar for independent online sellers.

Margeret Bunn - British Craft Trade Fair

Margeret Bunn has been working with British designer-makers for over 35 years, and has been the principle organiser for the British Craft Trade Fair for the past 25 years. After studying art, she went into the fashion and retail industry in central London. However, her passion for art and craft remained, so alongside working in the retail sector she and her husband Philip in 1982 set up their company Marathon Event Management, later changed to PSM LTD but the ethos remained the same: to promote British crafts via retail craft fairs.
