"During my time in the Kiosk I sold interior and exterior decor pieces.

Very few people actually ventured in, as generally people were a little timid and I don’t think they got the concept it was actually a stall where you could buy stuff, majority thought it was an exhibition or a tourist information booth” Interestingly though, many people who did come in were not British! Don’t know what that is saying about us Brits!!...not very nosey!


But, those that did take a look were really positive and helpful and helped me see my work from a consumers point of view. I went away with some ideas to work on which should, encourage more people to purchase my work. The experience helped me think of different applications for my work and where I should market it.



The audience was varied. Kids were attracted to my brightly coloured 3D stuff, teenagers girls to my fashion accessories, and women and men from 20years to 70, everything else; from wall pieces, lamps and 3D interior and exterior sculptures.

I think the location of the Kiosk wasn’t ideal, it needs to be in an area where people are in a mind set to shop, so Camden, Covent garden, Spitalfields. I think people would be encouraged to come over and have a nose if there was a cluster of kiosks together, so people can mingle from one stall to another.

It was great to meet and talk to Ciara the girl I was sharing the Kiosk with on how she is doing as business, and get advice and website, contacts etc.

This was a great opportunity, to listen and talk to consumers. I went away with lots of ideas to work on, which in turn will hopefully benefit my work."
