MAKERS MARKET – AN AGWA ROOFTOP FESTIVAL
As part of the AGWA Design Store’s commitment to supporting emerging designers, we partner with Second Life Markets to bring aspiring designers to showcase their wares. Working alongside the founders of Second Life Markets, AGWA Design Store curators Leith Groves and Rob Marshall are coaching Fashion and Textile Design students about marketing second hand fashion, upcycling design, sourcing materials, and branding. The class will host their stall at the Second Life Markets on the AGWA Rooftop.
