This evening inpress held a stall at the Creative Networks event where David Shrigley was the college's guest speaker. It was a pleasant evening with a good turn out.
We were approached by 'Pool' creative with regards to selling our work online; Polo are in the process of setting up an online shop where you can purchase work from Leeds creatives. We exchanged business cards and are going to keep in contact with regards to this.
We also spoke to the international marketing manager for Leeds College of Art. He liked the idea of what we were doing and the work we were producing, so said he would be in touch seen as he only worked upstairs in the marketing office.
Jane Denton spoke to us about selling work at an event in Headingley to raise money for a charity. We would have to pay £15 for a table and 20% of our profits would go to the charity. Something to consider anyway.
Finally, John from Woolgather attended and spoke to us about creating work for the shop space. We are going to have a meeting with their team next week to discuss this further.
Overall, although we didn't make many sales from our shop, the night was a success and we did some networking to get our work out there in forthcoming events and opportunities.
