This year I was involved in doing the print festival, Print is something which I have always been interested in but never really got involved with, so this year I thought I would. I didn't really know what to expect from the day, but though I would produce some work anyway to sell there. After doing some screen prints of some patterns which I created I then produced some business cards in order to give out to people who bought my prints. Over all I Spend £4.50 on printing and paper for the prints which I took to sell and i made a profit of £17 which was a lot higher than I thought. Although it isn't a huge amount, I was only expecting to sell a few, when i actually sold nearly all but 3 prints.
On the table we all have a small section to place our own work, everyone sold they stuff for different prices, everyone seemed to sell something which they took.
Alongside the fact we had a great opportunity to get out work out there and sell it, we also managed to speak to a variety of designers, such as DittoPress, Dust and Caroline Pratt.
After attending the print festival on the Saturday, I also went to the print talks on the sunday, I found them very interesting and inspiring. In the Print talks were Mr Bingo, Patrick Burgoyne, Pat Randle and Si Scott. All of which were Fabulous to listen too.
