Andile Workshop

MEMBERS SELL YOUR WORK AT in early December

What type of work will sell?

Suitable work for I heart would be gift lines rather than work suitable for an exhibition-­‐ think Christmas and pieces priced in the R80 to R300 bracket as well as "stocking fillers" Visit I heart and you,ll see that the clientele is appreciative of unique handmade ware. They are discerning and are of all age groups Also be aware of not treading on other traders toes as the organisers need a variety of goods!

The committee will work out the logistics soon but obviously we can only take a few pieces from each artist-­‐maybe more-­‐it depends on how many members want to join in. So please let Corrie Hook know if you are entering and if possible send her a photo of a typical product as soon as possible. Deadline for putting your name down is 1st October .
