Illustrators in the Wild / a Sheffield Illustrators Meet-Up

Making and selling your work at markets can be exciting, overwhelming, brilliant — and sometimes a bit chaotic. Let’s look at it together.

Our next Sheffield Illustrators meet-up, Illustrators in the Wild, is all about sharing tips, tricks and honest experiences of producing goods, selling at markets, and building a positive small-business presence.

We’ll be joined by local illustrators Kathy and Shino, who will lead a couple of short presentations and discussions focused on what works (and what definitely doesn’t!) when preparing for and running market stalls.

There’ll also be plenty of space for questions, conversation, and sharing your own experiences with the group.

Together we’ll explore things like:
> Creating and producing products for markets
> Pricing, display ideas and practical logistics
> Navigating the realities of selling in person
> Lessons learned from real-life market experiences
> What we might consider if we ran our own Sheffield Illustrators market in the future.

Whether you’re a seasoned seller, curious about starting out, or just want to meet fellow illustrators and swap stories, come along — all illustrators are welcome, whether you’ve been before or not. We’re a friendly bunch!
