Collect a list of people who sell things made at DoES

Ok, this might just be a blog post on the website, or it could be something more exciting, but it would be good to have a way to collect together links to artists/makers that are connected to DoES and who might appreciate some promotion of their online stores.

If you are a maker and want to promote yourself then comment on here, or if you know the information for someone else feel free to put it here. I think the best type of thing would be actual shop links that people can instantly buy from though, rather than this being a general way of people promoting themselves.

As I say it could just be a blog post but if anyone was up for designing a more well presented web page that could also work well. I don't think it would need a complicated layout, I'm thinking just a short introduction of the idea and then boxes for each of the makers with a brief overview, a photo and/or a sample of their work and a link through to their own website. If we did it as its own site it might be easier then to push it out to people and market it as a "thing".

Gary Millar has been working on an awesome VR "space" where he showcases his artworks for sale. I don't believe he feels the link is ready for public exposure just yet but he is using a platform called ArtSteps.com.

I dunno if this is appropriate for your idea but I wonder if we could maybe work alongside Gary and have a DoES VR "space" along the lines you suggest?

Just a thought!

I've tweaked the title because although we've decided not to run one this year, it would be good to have a page all year round where people can list links to their online shops (and people can nominate others if they know about it)

@DoESsean can you update with any links and names that you know about already and add more as you come across them?
