Today I went to visit Wendy and Jose at the Shoreham Gallery just around the corner to where I live.
It's a little shop run by a co-operative of about 22 artists and makers. They have some lovely work on display and I have often wondered if I should join them. Unfortunately the costs to exhibit there are quite high as they have to split the expenses between them and I was fairly certain I wouldn't be able to make a profit (or even cover the costs)! After having a chat I decided it's definitely worth a try as they seemed sure I would be able to sell my things - they have nothing similar and the price range is quite wide so could appeal to a cross section of potential buyers. There's also the possibility of getting commissions and meeting customers whilst working in the shop one day every three weeks. On top of that a customer bought five of my cards as I was showing them which was encouraging! So my name is down to give it a go once a space becomes available.
