PUBLICITY
(Selected promotional material and advertisments)

Lewes Artisans always tried to promote its members by periodically producing full page adverts in the Sussex Express, as well as advertising in various other local publications.

Printed directories were produced from late 2003 onwards, once or twice a year. They started in black on coloured paper, and progressed to four colour printing.

We did two of these events which were the brainchild of Ruth O'Keeffe (2005 and 2006)

"BIG AD" for the art, craft and design artisans in the Sussex Express: April 2005

We had a series of Adverts in The Sussex Express leading up to a re-launch of the site in May 2004

For the two weeks Dec 7th-21st 2003 we were given the use of the left-hand shop window in Norman Baker's old HQ in School Hill.
The display was very eye catching, and looked great especially in the early evening when lit.

Although we could not represent a true cross-section of ALL our artisan's skills, those represented to good effect were Caroline Dorling, Oliver Clark, John Pomfrey, James Slater, Mo Hamid, John Hinitt,George Justice and Susanne Wolf.

We did quite a few Farmers' Markets during the years, usually to promote a new directory. Here we were at the FARMERS' MARKET on Saturday 1st. November 2003. We chatted to lots of people, including Norman Baker M.P., thus raising awareness of L.A. Simon Dale and Susanne Wolf were interviewed for Rocket Radio.
