The day had finally arrived. We assembled outside the workshop at 8am, ready and eager to sell our bowls to the public.
Although it was a wet and windy day we persevered. We were forced to move our stall from its intended location in building 2 to building 6. Unphased we continued with our set up as we knew that thousands of people would be passing through the doors of UTS to see what was on offer at the university and we all felt like we were contributing!
The set up went to plan as we covered the tables with black cloth and displayed our A4 information stands and prepared all our boxes for sale.
Once people started flowing through it was very exiitng. We were all talking to people and letting them know what inspired our bowls and the possibilities of coming to UTS and doing a design course. however, we didn't have the traffic we may have had if we were in building 2 on a nice day.
Nevertheless, all in all I managed to sell six bowls and learnt a huge amount. The project was a great learning experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it. It is a great opportunity to make new friends, learn about packaging, branding and mass manufacture as well as being able to sell your own work to the public!
