Market Ready

Markets are an essential part of the craft and design economy and are a perfect gateway for makers new to the retail world.

Hosted by Matthew Vrettas of Melbourne-based ceramics studio Ghost Wares, this session will support makers and designers interested in joining the craft and design market community. The session will offer practical tips on product preparation and packaging, stall curation and set-up, customer engagement, Point Of Sales systems, general marketing, as well as stock management.

Ghost Wares is a Melbourne based ceramics studio with an emphasis on creating objects that are elegant but playful. All of their products are made by hand, allowing for an ever evolving range of complementary pieces. They endeavour to create contemporary products that have an element of timeless restraint.
