About this Event
Join us in the Mitchell Library on Tuesday 11 October for an evening to help anyone thinking of running a market stall. We'll start with Joanne MacFadyen from Tea Green (Dundee based pop up events platform) talking about the application process. We'll then handover to April Hay from Agate & Ayre (geologically inspired fashion brand) to tell us all about her experiences, and the pitfalls to avoid. The BIPC Glasgow team will then take you through information about how to protect your brand and designs with intellectual property, and showcase our fantastic free resources and show you how to research the market and access practical start-up factsheets. There’s also an opportunity to network with others before and after the session.

April Hay - Agate & Ayre (www.agateandayre.com)
April founded Agate & Ayre with the dream of creating a luxury collection of textiles inspired by her love of bold, abstract prints and Scottish geology. Marrying science with design, she uses her photography of stones and minerals to design vivid, striking textiles which are exclusive to Agate & Ayre. She's created a range of luxury, slow made textile accessories that she designs and sews from her studio in Glasgow.
