    I'm submitting to take part in a pop up shop in an art centre. They want an exhibitor statement and I'm struggling with it (Upto 150 words in the third person)
    So far I have

    Make and Create – pretty, inspiring stuff.
    Make and Create upcycle, recycle, print and make stationery, prints and decorative homewares -using a variety of materials.
    Founded from a passion for paper and all things personalized by Sarah-Jayne, Make and Create has evolved from being a social stationer to an upcycling home décor specialist. All items are handcrafted in their Portlaoise studio.
    This year Sarah-Jayne will also be launching her own handmade ceramic pieces.

    They create unique and personalized home accents that make your space your own.

    I'm not sure it reads a bit cringy and repetitive but trying to pitch it to the market I'm targeting. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Yep looks fine. We do a spot of the old upcycling ourselves where abouts are you based? There's a really good event coming up in Dublin in March I would think getting a spot would be nearly impossible but it might well be worth popping down to have a look.

    I'm in Laois. Only starting out - I am renovating my workshop at the moment, if the rain would ever stop as the roof needs stripping. Would love just to go and have a look at the event in March. If you could PM details would be great. thanks.
