Want to start selling your handmade design products at a craft market and acquire exciting new enterprise skills along the way?
London Met’s upcoming Makers Market gives new designers, makers and craftspeople the opportunity to start selling their products, get feedback, connect with customers and gain valuable experience in running a creative business.
Don't worry if you've not sold before; you’ll learn everything from stall design, branding and packaging, to pricing, taking payments and marketing at our maker and market bootcamps.
So, whether you’re a graphic or fashion design student with an exciting new product, or an aviation management graduate with a hobby for handmade greeting cards - we want to hear from you.
