Goal Met!

Dear all,

I thought you all would be dying with anticipation, so I decided to post asap to let you know the results of our fund raising efforts. In total, the class raised a grand total of e522.92 (not including the float). So well done to all of you who participated and worked hard - it's nice know your efforts can pay off!

The first class of the second term (7th January), we will wrap things up. All remaining inventory is being stored in Mag's office. Make sure you pick up what's left, document the total remaining stock, and what you should have made in profit. We will go over this in class, as well as take a look at the inventory lists to make sure everything adds up.

As we agreed in class, those who made above the target profit (e24) will have the option to pool this money in the class fund in the bank, or request to be reimbursed for material costs. If the class kitty holds more than the cost of your exhibition, that money can be used for framing purposes.

As always, any questions can be submitted via the comment box below.

And finally: Happy Christmas, everyone!

Please be punctual - notice that you are all on for one hour, and that both classes are mixed, and divided between the two buildings. Divide and conquer! I have put up the excellent posters that Sean designed and printed, and I've also sent a mass email to all the teachers and admin of both buildings, so we are sure to be quite busy. See you then, and best of good fortune with your continued fund raising efforts!

Post Mingle Market

Hi all,

I have received confirmation from Maureen Conway to go ahead with our in house sale on Monday, 17th of December. Louise has given her permission for you to work your sales technique rather than your life drawing technique. I'm sure she would appreciate a thank you.

We will begin setting up at 10am, and begin packing up at 3:00pm. We'll split our stock in half so we can set up at both buildings. This is an event that people in the college look forward to, so we should do well. Having said that, if you were considering a reduction in your pricing, now would be the time to do it - as we all know, students are on a budget.

I'll post a schedule on the blog, which Emma can forward to Facebook. She's very good at looking after you all! As per usual, any questions can be sent via the blog comments box below.

SEAN: can you modify and print 20 new posters? I'll follow up via txt if I don't hear from you by the end of the day Wednesday. I have shown samples to some of the staff, and they are looking forward to seeing the rest! Even a pre-order for you, Leon.....

Ready......Set.....Mingle!

Hi all,

Tomorrow we see how all our hard work paid off.......so remember to dress fancy, if you feel so inclined, and bring your cameras!

See you all there!

P.S. Just looking through what you guys gave me, and I see a couple of details that could use some attention before we sell our wares, and put ourselves and our reputations out there:

Robert N - the cards turned out great, but where are the envelopes? Inventory? Prices?

Sam - you did not include pricing. Also, are your tags all hand made, or are they photocopies? It's important we know.

Sean - how much for the wrapping paper, and, how will we package these to go - to keep it clean, what if it rains, etc.

Vrin, John Leon - have you made arrangements for someone to bring your cards? Included inventory list and price list?

Victoria - hoping you are all right, haven't seen you in weeks.

Anthony?

Remember, everything involved with this project is a large part of your grade, so follow through, presentation, and participation are all important!

Mingle Ferociously....in one Week!

Hi all,

The market sale is in one week's time, and I imagine you're all as excited as I am! As promised, I am including the roster below. Remember to bring everything in on Monday for our practice set-up: your products, packaging, decorations, tape and scissors, cash box, displays, inventory lists. I am aware you still need some production time, so we will spend half the class on making. 

10:30 - 12:30,   Set - Up  

• Emma - cash box, fairy lights
• Sean
• Anthony
• Victoria

12:30 - 2:30

• John
• Ed
• Ciara
• Robert

2:30 - 4:30

• Vrindavana
• Justinas
• Leon

4:30 - 6:30     Wrap - Up

• Annie
• Tom
• David

I spoke with Rainey today, and she has logged our places near the coffee bar in her book. There is limited wall space here, as there are banners and an art installation. Tables are approx 6'x3'. Remember that I will be bringing blue tack, Roses, wrapping paper, and an electric heater should we need it. Does anyone have a small folding table we could use to wrap items?

Now is the time to promote the event, so create an event on Facebook, and get the word out! I look forward to seeing the promotional poster on Monday - would it be possible to include the Fibre Art students on the poster as well? Post comments in the box below.

And finally, a clip to wrap up - note Rainey's love of Fancy Dress, inspired by Victoriana and Steam Punk:
