Please join us on Friday the 29th of January, for tips for selling your work at markets, from founder of Crafty Fox Market, Sinead Koehler. Afterwards there will be refreshments and an opportunity for informal networking.

Crafty Fox Markets take place seasonally across London, showcasing a curated selection of contemporary craft sellers. Sinead Koehler started Crafty Fox Market in 2010.  At the time, she was selling handmade jewellery online and at markets alongside a full-time job in event management. The aim was to shake up the traditional craft fair and create something fresh incorporating a bar, DJs and workshops. Crafty Fox Markets currently take place in Brixton, Shoreditch and Peckham. Demand for stalls is high with around four applicants per place. The ethos of Crafty Fox is to support and promote designer-makers.  Those who have been trading for less than 12 months can apply to the ‘Crafty Fox Uncovered’ scheme for reduced price stalls and mentoring from an experienced market trader. The team also run Crafty Fox Talks – a series of speaker led evening events designed to educate and inspire creatives.

A night for new ideas, inspired by the Scratch nights of the Battersea Arts Centre, PhotoScratch is an opportunity for photographers to understand how their work is percieved and gain valuable insight into how to take their work further with the benefit of other people’s outside eye. For spectators this is an opportunity to preview projects by emerging documentary photographers, offer feedback and engage in conversations about photography.

Featuring work from: Cinzia D’Ambrosi, Jamie Clark, Rob Stothard, Ryan Nell, Carl Bigmore, Phil Le Gal, and Hanna-Katrina Jedrosz

Please join us on Wednesday the 13th of January, for a talk by Jenny Judova on How to approach a Gallery. Afterwards there will be refreshments and an opportunity for informal networking.

Jenny Judova is the director of Art Map London and the co-director of Tom’s Etching Studio. She will be speaking about the complicated relationship between artists and galleries and how artists can bypass the gallery system to do it on their own. An artist really does not need gallery representation to have a successful career in the arts.
