Annabel Tempest
Make Art That Sells student Annbel Tempest selling prints of the map which she created for Hot Markets for Your Art Part B at a Christmas market …
A design which Make Art That Sells student Annabel Tempest created for Hot Markets for Your Art Part B led her to a fabulous illustration job. Annabel designed a map of Somerset with a plan of printing it onto tea towels as a readymade Christmas present for her Somerset family. Then a friend saw it and asked if she could have a copy, and within a few weeks Annabel found herself at a Christmas market selling prints of it.
… and her art for a local pub rebrand, which she got as a result!
A local tea shop then asked to stock the prints, which then led to Annabel doing some artwork for the teashop; and when it came to the owner’s new project, renovating and reopening the village pub, she asked Annabel to do that too!

Tea towels and zipper pouches featuring the map were stocked by six local stores, and Apara has since gone on to add to the range, with maps of South Africa, Durban, Namibia, and Kruger National Park.
Apara told us: “I could not have done this without that Hot Markets for Your Art Part B class.”
