British Craft Trade Fair, Harrogate

4/7/2017

0 Comments

 
I spent last weekend at my first trade show, the BCTF in Harrogate. It was a huge learning curve and a fantastic experience.

​The organisers were excellent and there was a wealth of information before the show on what potential buyers would be looking for and the information they need. All really useful, especially for a newcomer like me!

​It was a pleasure to meet my fellow exhibitors and a lot of people who follow me on Instagram face to face. I don't think I've ever been in a room with so much talent! With 500 exhibitors covering a huge variety of different crafts I found the whole experience to be inspiring.

​As well as meeting with gallery and shop owners across the country it was also a wonderful opportunity to discuss glass with some fellow makers, perfect for my inner geek! I don't often get the chance to talk shop with other makers and everyone was very encouraging and willing to talk.

​I now have 2 new stockists and quite a few leads to follow, I think most of the work is just starting!

"So much effort was put into delicately making and carefully wrapping these gorgeous white houses. Cheryl was extremely accommodating, shipping them out to Australia upon request. They arrived not longer after and look wonderful. I cannot wait for them to be opened on Christmas Day! Thank you Cheryl x"
