Getting The Creative Gift Juices Flowing

This Saturday (March 2) sees The Giftware Association out in force at a creative business masterclass, being held at London’s V&A museum, by illustrator and artist Lucy Ledger, well-known known for her greeting card designs.

The masterclass will focus on pinpointing a brand, encouraging new and emerging publishers and designers, and learning insights into creative industries per se, to include gifting.
