Design Team Call

First of all the challenges will be back up and running at 8am GMT on 1st February 2014.  The break was much needed and I am delighted we will be back.

Some of the design team are returning which is fantastic and I will be looking for some new  members to join us hence the following call.







A little about what we are about - we are a monthly challenge so there would only be one project required per month. I don't rely on sponsors, although they are welcome, so you would be producing work with your own products. There is no payment for work. It is intended to be fun.  You are expected to produce a project (can be anything) every month for the design team term which runs from February to July 2014 inclusive with the option of staying on for the next term should you wish.  I will provide you with the schedule of challenges at the beginning so you can be fully prepared for your months with the team.  I am also expanding my range of handmade craft flowers so I will provide you with some of those for at least one month of the DT term fitting in with the theme that particular month.


HOW TO APPLY


Please send me an email titled DT Call to craftgardenshop@gmail.com with the following


Your name


A link to your blog or online gallery


Please attach to your email at least a couple of examples of your work


A little bit about yourself and your craft interests etc.

Anything else you want to tell me about you.


The design team call will be open until midnight(GMT) on Friday 10th January 2014.


International and previous applicants are welcome as are previous design team members.


If you are interested then I would love to hear from you.
