I finally plucked up the courage to send a letter. After getting it checked over by John I felt a lot more confident about sending it - what's the worst that could happen?
By the time I had written out the letter by hand, there was no space for me to put my contact details which was frustrating. I wrote these out separately on the back of a small print of my work I had lying around, I prefer this idea now because it is something they might pin on a noticeboard or something - it is less of a throwaway item.
Anyway, now I just have to wait for a reply...
To Jamie and Mark
I am an illustration student in my third and final year of study at Leeds College of Art. Loughborough is my hometown and where I will most likely be returning after I graduate so the fact that Ohh Deer has set up shop here is really exciting! It’s really great to see creative things happening in Loughborough outside of the university as I think it is something we have been lacking for a while as a town.
My creative practice at the moment is very much based around paper products, pattern design and the gift market so I would love to learn more about what it is that you do as a company that is working so well in the industry! I am also really keen to understand the processes that take place between artist studio and shop floor. It would be great to experience an environment full of products I have a passion for and people with similar interests to myself so if you have any opportunities for work experience then I would love to hear about them!
Thanks for taking the time to read my email and I look forward to hearing from you.
