Homegrown Shop Event






On Sunday the 12th of June myself and 6 other illustration students put on a one day (pop up) shop. The store was called 'Homegrown' and was situated just one minute from busy thoroughfare Brick Lane.

The theme of the store was markets, and each of us made handmade products inspired by products you might find in a food market stall. We made two wooden market stalls to sit in the shop to enhance this effect.
The weather wasn't on our side and we battled with torrents of rain all day.
Luckily the shop space we used had two floors so we were able to set up a cafe downstairs (selling cakes we made ourselves) for people to shelter from the rain.
On the whole the day was a brilliant success and we made £420.

Here are some photographs of Sunday taken by Andrew Jones .
