Come along and find out about FREE opportunities to sell your work in Enfield!
Made in Enfield is a project being delivered by Enfield Council Cultural Services, supported by UKSPF. It focuses on investment in the Made in Enfield Shop at Dugdale Arts Centre and in a Makers Development Programme providing opportunities to support, develop and showcase local makers at both DAC and Forty Hall.
The evening will be hosted by Dan Maier of Extraordinary Design who has run her successful design business for over 20 years. She started from a neighbour’s bedroom and ended up selling to some of the best-known UK retailers and around the world with an enviable client list. She has also worked with over 500 designer-makers helping them make their practices more viable and has been invited by Enfield Council to support local makers through this funded initiative.
Dan will outline 3 FREE upcoming showcasing & selling opportunities, along with business support that will be available:
