This year was the 6th annual Sheffield Print Fair at St Mary's Church on Bramall Lane, and this year we were lucky enough to get ourselves a stall amongst some spectacular local printmakers and artists! This was our second major stall outside of college so we really wanted to impress! Back in September we called out for any students who wanted to get involved with TRAC, and managed to gather together a bunch of lovely students to help us prepare for the stall. This involved designing, printing, packaging and organising our stock ready for the big day.
It wasn't long until the 10th of November came around and Sarah and Patience were arriving at St Marys bright and early ready to set up the stall. We got a gorgeous spot in the front room right next to the beautiful stained glass window, and we were surrounded by some truly amazing work! Our splendid volunteers James, Bushra, Laura and Tom soon arrived to help us sell our TRAC products to the 1,000+ visitors that were attending the fair that day.
By the end of the day we made a super £187! Taking away production costs and the cost of the stall this still meant £70 overall profit, which we have donated 50% of to the colleges nominated charity. We're going to aim even higher next time and will hopefully be able to make an even larger contribution after the upcoming Magna Christmas Family Fayre on the 24th and 25th of November!
Overall it was a really wonderful day and we can't wait to do it all again in a few weeks!
