ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

MAKE IT WORK – 5 SHORT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS FOR CERAMICISTS & OTHER CRAFTS PEOPLE. 9 FEBRUARY – 15 APRIL 2024

A new professional development programme created especially for London Potters by The Design Trust

We are really excited to announce that we have a new partnership with The Design Trust to provide a specially created online professional development programme for spring 2024. Patricia van den Akker, the Director of The Design Trust and an award-winning creative business adviser, trainer and coach who has worked with 1,000s of creatives in the last 25 years has created a special programme for us. ‘Make It Work’ consists of 5 online workshops, each between 2-2.5 hours long, covering all aspects of starting & growing a ceramics business. From business planning and goal setting to kickstart the year, to marketing, branding, improving your website, and how to cost & price your ceramics and to make more money in 2024. You can join one workshop, or if you book all 5 sessions then you will pay even less.

This online course is especially created for London Potter members and is aimed at both emerging and established craftspeople, artists & designers, and Patricia will provide specialist advice for different products and services, incl. commissions and teaching workshops.
