My First Fayre!

Last weekend was my first opportunity to sell my work at a local fayre, and was so pleased with how successful it went! 

Above you can see my setup and that is all thanks to my dad and his crafty skills. I envisioned a booth and had no idea how to make it happen, but lucky for me he is the man to go to with such things! 

So whilst my dad got down to the technical stuff, I researched the best places to get my work printed and looking its best. The internet is great for this kind of thing, a general Google search told me the do’s and don’ts and so it was left to me to decide which company I wanted to go for. 

Obviously I looked at some of the big printing companies, such as theprintspace, digitalab, loxleycolour, whitewall, etc… but I finally decided to go with photographyprinting.co.uk

Chris is a one man band and a photographer himself, so I knew I was on to a winner when I found his company. He is based in Norfolk and could produce all the products I was looking to get printed and at competitive prices!

When the prints arrived in the post I couldn’t wait to have a look at them, they all came carefully packaged and the colour quality was amazing! I wanted to print my photos onto Fine Art Giclee Paper, as this really shows them off well and ensures the print quality lasts for years and years. Although it’s a little pricey it is well worth it in my opinion.

So the day came to sell my work, and the feedback received was very positive. My dad had done a sterling job with the booth and it really helped to show off the prints. It is definitely something I want to do again, so hope to see you all at the next event :) Keep your eyes and ears open to see the next confirmed date!
