Course overview
Course description
It is an exciting prospect to be able to sell your own work. On this course you will be guided through the various options, with the chance to put into practice all the previously learnt skills and hopefully turn your hobby into something that can make you some money. We will discuss topics such as what is commercial, branding and packaging and how to avoid plagerism. Also, importantly setting up with HMRC.
Transferable skills will be gained through this course such as IT skills for research, numeracy skills when calculating costs, and social skills when interacting in the group setting, discussing and sharing feedback. You will be encouraged to push your own boundaries by reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses during the feedback sessions and setting your own goals.
All equipment is provided, or you can bring your own. Most students will need to purchase some materials from the tutor at cost price; depending on the project this might include china, glass, bases, adhesive and grout, etc. Aprons are provided or you can bring your own.
