How to create a truly intimate artist and customer connection, with one-of-a-kind hand painted fashion pieces - Tiff Manuell
Creative Ways Podcast - A podcast by Emma Isaacs
Tiff Manuell paints her bright edgy bright edgy abstract pieces onto large canvases sourced from India which then they get cut up sent off to a talented team who make them Into the most amazing one off bags!! The way Tiff runs her business is equally as magical, her shop is also her huge studio which means customers can go and see her paint and create her latest pieces, and actually speak to her and tell her which bit you would like her to cut or just have a real intimate experience seeing where these pieces were created! So of course it makes sense Tate Modern London would approach and stock these stunning pieces of art! Tiff’s takeaways 💥✨ 1.If a studio or shop isn’t speaking to you what about a warehouse or a large space where your customers can visit👌 2.Show your children your day to day work, get them involved. It's great for them to see how hard we have to work and how serious we have to be. Plus they will see the wins and highs💪 3.Giving college pupils work experience is a great way for them to meet possibly their first successful creative and it’s rewarding for you too! 💚 4.If your business is just reacting or treading water or feeling stuck, schedule in a few days for playing and creating again. ✨ 5.If you’re spinning all of the plates and you’re feeling it’s not working as you could have spread yourself too thinly with wholesalers, customers or licences follow your gut, you know really if it’s not working and it’s ok to move from that to make an even wilder business! 💥 6.Having your studio as your shop means customers feel they’ve got something more intimate and there’s a story now with each piece💫 7.Meditation doesn’t have to be in the morning, or a quite building, being consistent is more important, find 15 minutes in bed or another room in the house in the evenings even🌙 8.If you're a curious soul and travel is important try and combine this with your business. It can be a blast! 🌍 https://tiffmanuell.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tiffmanuell/
