Making Making into a Business

This workshop is for the creatives, the craft lovers, and makers of any age who would like to make their making into a business and find out how to make money doing what you enjoy.

It doesn’t matter what stage of your making journey you’re at -whether you’re starting with an idea or are already in the thick of it – every participant will leave with tangible next steps for your ‘making business’.

In the spirit of making, everyone makes the day, and as participants, you will be invited to contribute your own experiences and ideas. Bring some of your products if you want to get some input or feedback from the group.

We offer ongoing support and mentoring after the workshop, together with membership to the Edventure Frome Start-Up Cafe where you can meet up again and share how you’re getting on. It’s nice to know that you are not alone on this journey!

Facilitators:

Johannes Moeller & Tess Wakeling:

Johannes is the Managing Director of Edventure Frome – A School for Community Enterprise. He will draw on his experience of supporting young adults to set up small ‘making’ businesses in Frome, with examples of what worked and what didn’t.

Tess created a business selling hand-crafted paper lampshades and other products and will draw on her ups and downs of making a living through making
