Its been a bit of a weird month! And I'll admit I haven't picked up a paint brush in ages! At the moment im still currently looking for work in my local area and in Manchester. Ive come across a few amazing jobs, but i just don't seem to be having much look on the design house front.
I approached a local craft shop the other day to see if the owner would stock some of my work, the manager Alison said I should approach bigger companies such as the National Trust and Next with my designs. She was really helpful and gave me some good advice. Its hard to keep going when your getting knocked back all the time especially when its your own work, because its personal, but after a long chat with Alison I felt a lot better about myself and my work.
So this weekend I have decided to try and approach some of the more high end boutiques in my area and see what they think of my designs.
Wish me luck...
