Product Development
A practical, hands on creative product development course. You will work with our team generating ideas for new products and gain transferable skills and experience discovering first hand what’s involved in taking an idea for a new product ready to market whilst giving it the best chance of success.
Working with local artists, designers and makers to develop an innovative product range.
We do this alongside offering a range of community learning opportunities, including a 6 session Product Development Introduction course - on which learners will experience the process of planning, designing, creating and launching a real product from a live brief. This opportunity is a rare chance to see the process from start to finish!
Alongside our more classically taught courses, we have a range of support available, from mentoring and coaching, to skill development sessions and networking events.
These are the opportunities to discuss ideas and find answers to your business and creative questions in a friendly and supportive environment?
Maybe between us we know the answers or might be able to offer some ideas? We have an eclectic mix of creatives and small businesses that join us, all at different points along their journey. You may be looking for someone to collaborate with on a project, need some technical expertise, or be looking for a mentor, coach or considering taking part in Action Learning.
There's lots to offer within this group, currently running via Zoom! Our networking events are every fortnight on a Monday mid afternoon (3-4.30pm) or early evening (6-7.30pm) slot.
