Glug Birmingham – 21.08.14

With just over a week to go, momentum is building for Glug Birmingham: MIDLAND MASTERS, an event curated by Created in Birmingham and Inkygoodness, in association with Glug, hosted at Fazeley Studios.

You may have already seen our promotional beermats and flyers around and about, as well as our beautiful (even if I do say so myself) riso print programmes, printed by Hato Press. The poster inside has been designed by headline speaker Alex Fowkes – pictured above) with the programme design by me.

There’s a fair bit going on as part of the evening event so we’ve broken it down for you:

Seven inspiring speakers:

• PROVIDE (Matt Nation) Starting from the bottom (and we’ll probably be here a while)
• Hero of Switzerland & FRUKT (Dan Button) Doing a Hobby for a Living
• Waste Studio (Norm Hayes) Apple P Cuppa Tea
• Studio Output (Alun Edwards & Chris Allwood) New Challenges
• Well Made Studio (Gemma Germains) No Friends in Business
• Alex Fowkes Process is Just as Important as Product

Nine stalls in our pop-up market:

• Codswallop Collective (Art prints)
• Brothers of the Stripe (Prints & originals)
• Working Clasp (Jewellery)
• Mike Stimpson (Photography)
• Hero of Switzerland (Art prints)
• LizzLizz (Comics)
• PROVIDE (Clothing & Accessories)
• Bethany Thompson (Art prints)
• Sam Pierpoint (Handpainted shoes)

Live drawing from Brothers of the Stripe, taking place in the Fazeley Studios courtyard (where you’ll find the BBQ too)

Live t-shirt silk-screen printing from Waste Studio.

AMMO Magazine special edition launch party.

FREE screen print, designed by Alex Fowkes, printed by Whiteduck Screenprint (for the first 100 guests to sign in!) as well as tasty treats from Paisley Immy.

All of this will be taking place at Fazeley Studios, 6pm-11pm. To finish, we’re holding an after-party at Spot*Light, 10pm-1am.

(There’s a free drink with your ticket too, not bad, hey.)

Hope to see you there!
