Make. Learn. Sell.
Showcase your creativity.
Whether you’re a graphic, fashion or jewellery design student with an exciting new product, or an aviation management graduate with a hobby for handmade greeting cards…
We welcome and encourage students and recent graduates from all areas across the university to take part in Maker Market.
Calling all makers.
Want to learn how to sell and promote your design products and handmade gifts, acquire exciting new skills, and make some extra cash? Of course you do!
Through our Makers Markets, we give London Met’s talented designer-makers and craftspeople the opportunity to become real world market traders and online sellers.
Learn how to.

Set up your store/stall
We’ll give you a tour of the best online platforms to sell from plus an overview of what makes a homely in-person market stall

How to sell effectively

Presenting your wares for sale

Previous sellers told us.
“I really enjoyed talking to people about design and especially what they think about my products! It’s great experience and I’d definitely do it again! Thank you!”
“I gained invaluable feedback on test products which has given me the confidence to go ahead with a number of new designs”
“It was great to run the small business and make something as a collective that generally worked, and to see how the public reacted to it”
“It was really good to see that people actually wanted to spend their hard earn cashed on products I had spent time thinking and making”
“…the experience was a real confidence builder when it comes to showing the public what I design…”
“The feedback we got was amazing and showed that as a studio we’re able to viably produce design within other sectors of the industry…”
