[wərkˌsh äp] sponsoring - Part II

Our previous post was about sponsoring and the difficulties we have to find sponsors. This new post will show the new developments. 

Yesterday [wərkˌsh äp] had a meeting in Amsterdam. In the Public Library Amsterdam we met Isrid van Geuns. She has been working in the Fashion world for more than twenty years now. Again someone we really can learn a lot from. We presented what [wərkˌsh äp] is about and she helped us look at [wərkˌsh äp] in a fresh way. With the new input we can improve [wərkˌsh äp] even more!

On this blog we will start to ask you – yes, you, our future guest and friend of [workshop] – for more tips and suggestions as Isrid gave to us yesterday. We want to thank Isrid from this blog again for her tips. And we can’t wait to see you again soon @ [wərkˌsh äp], Kortestraat 27, Arnhem.

After the meeting with Isrid two of us went back to Arnhem to pick up materials for flags. A company - Zeilenmakerij Teunissen – in a village near Arnhem offered us to take a look at their waste materials. What we can use, we could take back to the [workshop] office. So thanks to Theo Teunissen for his help!

Back in Arnhem we went to Kortestraat to store the canvas. And what did we find? A package from Gütermann. For the people who don’t know it – shame on you. It is a German trimmings company. They sent us a box with little sewing kits, rulers, a cotton bag, pens + pencils and measuring tape. Gütermann and Zeilenmakerij Teunissen did something that may be the future: barter. We give them a platform for their name or logo (you hear about that soon) and they give us materials. We don’t trade money for goods any more. That is so 1999.
