DoESLiverpool
Collect a list of people who sell things made at DoES
Ok, this might just be a blog post on the website, or it could be something more exciting, but it would be good to have a way to collect together links to artists/makers that are connected to DoES and who might appreciate some promotion of their online stores.
If you are a maker and want to promote yourself then comment on here, or if you know the information for someone else feel free to put it here. I think the best type of thing would be actual shop links that people can instantly buy from though, rather than this being a general way of people promoting themselves.
To save having to read through all the comments, edit this description and add any new links here so we collect them in one place:
- Vicki Opomu - https://www.vatelierstudio.co.uk/
- MCQN Ltd - https://shop.mcqn.com
- Museum in a Box - https://shop.museuminabox.org
As I say it could just be a blog post but if anyone was up for designing a more well presented web page that could also work well. I don't think it would need a complicated layout, I'm thinking just a short introduction of the idea and then boxes for each of the makers with a brief overview, a photo and/or a sample of their work and a link through to their own website. If we did it as its own site it might be easier then to push it out to people and market it as a "thing".
Gary Millar has been working on an awesome VR "space" where he showcases his artworks for sale. I don't believe he feels the link is ready for public exposure just yet but he is using a platform called ArtSteps.com.
I dunno if this is appropriate for your idea but I wonder if we could maybe work alongside Gary and have a DoES VR "space" along the lines you suggest?
Just a thought!
I've tweaked the title because although we've decided not to run one this year, it would be good to have a page all year round where people can list links to their online shops (and people can nominate others if they know about it)
@DoESsean can you update with any links and names that you know about already and add more as you come across them?
At the community meeting today @JackiePease said that she'd look at moving this forwards.
I've added two more links (and put the full list in the description of the issue, so we don't have to hunt through comments at the end)
