The Cape Craft and Design Institute (CCDI) – as the Western Cape’s sector development organisation for craft and design – is proud to partner with Kamers for a second year running.
“After such a successful event last year at the Castle, we are excited to be partnering again with Kamers at another special landmark in Cape Town in the form of the City Hall,” said Doreen Hendricks, CCDI’s Market Support Coordinator.
“Kamers has a great following with a fantastic business model and we are proud to be associated with this strong design brand, which creates a magnificent platform for our members. The CCDI has been instrumental in securing the venue and we work as true partners around logistics, marketing and planning.
“We had such a diversity of creative talent and fresh product ideas in 2014 and we are sure this year it will be just as delightful for the many thousands of visitors who attend.”
The CCDI will prepare 20 small participating businesses through an intensive programme that will cover topics such as costing, pricing, record-keeping, selling and branding techniques, logistics and styling. It is considered an ideal opportunity for emerging businesses – which might be entering the market for the first time – to put their training into practice.
The CCDI helps local craft producers and designers to build on their strengths, and provides support in areas where they need it. The organisation assists these creative individuals through business training, product development support and market access opportunities to grow into confident and successful business owners, continually developing their business, their income and impact in their marketplace.
To access these opportunities, register as a member of the CCDI here. There is no membership fee. Once registered with the CCDI, members will receive updates on training and market opportunities and can fill in application forms online.
