PR Matters

Today is the official start of spring and it is off to a flying start for Artisans Collective with a nice article in the local newspaper the Rhyl Journal 


It was also nice to be informed that we have been selected to attend a funded PR course in April being provided by Accord PR through Business Supporting Communities and DVSC.

We will be able to put this to good use to ensure further positive press coverage in the future.

St Davids Day Free Craft Workshops 2014

We have had some great feedback from our craft workshops held on Prestatyn High Street on St Davids Day 2014.

Thank you everybody for coming and making your Welsh themed items with us today in Prestatyn.
Over 200 items were completed in just over 4 hours, at one stage we had to call upon reserve stock to satisfy demand, sorry if you were not able to make the exact item you wanted.
It is becoming increasingly obvious to us what a talented group of young people we have in the town and how much they all enjoy creating

"Great photo of my girls [not me lol] what a great day well done everyone x"



St Davids Craft Event
"My granddaughter Jess just loved making her windmill and her flag.
So sorry it took her so long. But she is so proud of it. Then she got a flower balloon off mr tumble and had her photo taken in the sheep on the high street look hilarious a cat face on a woolly sheep. It was a great day for the kids. And me"
"There was a wonderful buzz in Prestatyn yesterday. St David's Day celebrations, the Artisans Collective free craft event, and the beautiful weather all played a part in bringing people into town. It was good to see people from Liverpool and Manchester back in the shop again." - Cathy from Nouveau Riche
"Looks like everybody had a good time yesterday ,fantastic ,a big thank you to Rachael the town team ,Peter Harrison, and team, and all the other people that helped and not to forget you for coming along and taking part ,really looking forward to the next great day out in Prestatyn  - Bob Murray Deputy Mayor, County Councillor"
"Hi Pete thanks for yesterday the kids had a fab time & the things they were making were amazing!" Rachael Astle - Prestatyn Town Council Events Manager.
"Reflecting on a busy St David's Day the Artisans Collective CIC had making Welsh related items with lots of happy children on Prestatyn High Street yesterday.
Apart from being astounded, once again, at how well our efforts were so gratefuly received by all participants and accompanying adults, I was delighted at how polite and engaging the children all were. They certainly are a credit to their parents and should be duly proud of their creative abilities and their wonderful manners.
Looking forward to sharing some "cracking" Easter crafts the next time we meet. By the way I do like Cadbury's Creme eggs!" - Yvette Byrne Jones
"Had a great day getting crafty with the Artisans Collective CIC in Prestatyn today, making lots of daffodil garlands and daffodil windmills to celebrate St. David's Day!"  - Michelle Thompson
"A massive thank you to all who collected and donated as part of the Great Daffodil Appeal today. The collection in Prestatyn High Street raised an amazing £1,021.12 to support our local Marie Curie Nurses so a HUGE thank you to everyone involved. Don't worry if you didn't get your Daffodil today there are still plenty of opportunities throughout March to get one." - Rhyl and Prestatyn Marie Curie Fundraising Group

Some good feedback from our first pumpkin carving day.

After the end of a busy week for Artisans Collective CIC it is nice to reflect of some of the feedback we have received from our event this week. I am not sure how you measure the success of a day like this but I think it went down well :-)

Thanks for a fab witch hunt !
