Work-Shop Makery & Ayana Jewellery

September 6, 2017

The concept of Work-Shop Makery is really quite simple, as a creative I rent out a space inside the store for a small weekly fee. After chatting with Paul who manages the shop, he suggested a top spot on a shelving unit. I was able to design the space myself, brand it and display whatever jewellery I would like. The BEST thing about Work-Shop Makery is that they don’t take any commission on sales (just that little shelf renting fee), so all the money from the pieces sold comes straight back to me.

I thought i’d share with you all my top tips and things to “definitely” not forget when preparing for a trade show – the before/during and most importantly the after!
