| Event Name: | Make It , Sell it |
| Description: | Have you made something yourself, whether it's a piece of jewellery, art or crafts that you want to sell? Do you want to make money out of your creative skills?
Come along to the British Library Business & IP Centre and meet experts who can advise you on how to take your designs to market, protect your ideas and manage the production process and scale. Our experts have particular expertise in the crafts and jewellery sectors.
Bring along examples of your work (as long as they're not too big). We'll be taking photos of them when you arrive and displaying the pictures in the Centre.
Who should attend? Anyone who is interested in crafts and wants to turn it into a business
