The Craft Coop Open Call
OK, we admit, we were inspired by Liberty of London to hold an Open Call - and what a fabulous inspiration it was!
Held twice a year, in January and June, the Open Call gives craftspeople the chance to come and chat with us and to show us their products. The variety and skill shown in the creations we see each year is amazing, and we never fail to be impressed. We do try to choose one person who stands out from the rest to award a month rent free in one of our shops, but the task is always very difficult.
Past winners have included Denise Williams (right) and Rachel's Felt Circus (below)
**ANNOUNCEMENT**
Because of Government Restrictions, we're not able to hold our usual Open Call this year - but that's not stopping us finding the best local craftspeople. This year, we're planning to hold virtual Open Calls for each shop. Here's what it's all about:
If you're a crafter and wonder if your products would be right for our shop, normally, you would come along and show us your stuff! This year, we're asking you to book a Zoom slot. Our friendly panel will give you tips and advice, and if we thing your products are a good fit for the shop, we'll offer you a week's trial period - and one lucky person will be selected to sell in the shop for one month for FREE.
Dates for each shop are: 20th or 24th February for the new Windsor Shop
27th Feb or 3rd March for the Maidenhead shop
6th or 10th of March for the Camberley shop
and 13th or 17th March for the High Wycombe shop.
Please email info@craftcoop.co.uk if you'd like to book an appointment.
We'll follow up the open call with workshops and other business improvement chats which anyone can come along to. Watch out for more information on these.
