There are hundreds of talented creatives at London Met and we love giving them real world opportunities. We offered them the chance to take part in London Met’s Christmas Market on Sunday 4 December, and get face to face with customers on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
We were inundated with applications this year, so students were invited to pitch with their wide range of products and we selected 20. The selected students receive training in selling and pricing and how to best display products on their stall from our Creative Enterprise Manager Emma, who has been supporting them also to promote what they do.
We are very excited to see our students launched their products on 4 December as they will be offering a wide range of products, from handmade jewellery to photography prints and even personalised stationary.
So if you are looking for some unique gifts this Christmas, come along to the Sunday Upmarket at the Old Truman Brewery, 4 December 10am-5pm and see what the students have on offer.
Meet some of the students taking part and get a taster of their work…
