Editor's Notes
Sexy – ad workd in interested in hand made, but how do you actually find outlets that represent craft that is consistent with this ‘cool’ image that the advertising gives off…
Kirsty Allsop handmade home
(less craft fair, more concept store)
Space in North Row – to showcase new work and new makers, and sell a core collection of bestsellers
We work on building commissions for makers
We sell online
We work with each of our makers in some or all of these ways
Filtering process – try something out, if it works then look at what we can do to develop something unique, or support their commissioning capabilities, or expand their capacity to batch
Reaching and building
Connecting, communicating, personal and warm, relationship building
Meetings, presentations, coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner
