Handmade In Britain, October 2011

The next big event to mention from last years calendar was exhibiting at Handmade in Britain, held at the Chelsea Old Town Hall in London last October.

Preparing for a show is always an enormous amount of work, starting off with a two by one meter white shell, you have only a few hours to turn it into a space representative of your brand and to show your product to it's best advantage. I designed a simple, faintly deco-inspired display in black and white and silver, with my favourite feature being the four preserved box-plant balls tied up using the Zoe Harding personalised ribbon and topped with oversized floppy bows.

It's always really great to show at exhibitions such as this, the opportunity to sell directly to your customer and witness first hand their reactions to your work is invaluable. It was a great few days resulting in lots of happy customers!
