Week 6: Mock Marketplace

At our mock-up stall we tested the idea of doing a D.I.Y experience as well as making a product (drink and glass). We used Martha Stewart glass frosting paint for the glasses, which takes about 15 minutes to dry, meaning the visitors will make their glass and then come back later to retrieve it with a drink. We also made bags to hold the glasses.


Feedback from our mock up stall:

Health and Safety team - stand to keep drink off ground, keep drink cold, how many jars ? paper cups for people who don't want to frost glass.

- 50 (?) jars, first in first serve. Paper cups for just the drink
- Drying station for glasses
- Maybe talk with a relaxation space group so they can sit down while their glass is drying
- Two different ideas? are they working together? how do you get them to work together ?
- Maybe prepare the glasses before hand
- Bold Instructions (we felt we were explaining our stall too much)
- Test with paint, make our own glass frost, sand paper, blackboard paint, etching (texture), stickers
- Ask people to save their glasses, 'pimp your old glasses'. Recycling
- thinner designs, vinyl to make cleaner edges
- If using paper cups, think about waste. Stay away from polystyrene
- Turns into a bag/pouch, easier to carry
- Height, how do you use height ? Place symbols up high
- The cup could become sticky if we are putting a drink in it
- Only have either drink or bag
- Good to keep customisation
- Vinyl stencils
- Sugar/Salt around edge - Mocktail
- Use a syrup instead of a drink you can make at home
- Use branding as stencil designs
- Advertise, put photos of designs around uni so people can vote (if we are pre-making the glasses)
