That was an experience; the accommodation situation was a bit of a nightmare but the placement was really good. Everyone was so nice and friendly, and made me feel welcome. It's one studio where everything happens- sometimes it's amazing what you can fit into one room. The first day I was making up boxes for cards that were required for an upcoming trade show and orders, which was quite a lot- luckily I had some help from another intern. After making up well over 100 lids and bases (sometimes twice in one day) I can tell you that by the end of the week I'm confident in saying I'm a pro. I was also folding and wrapping the tea towels, napkins etc and packaging them up for orders ready to be sent out.
It wasn't just all packing though; I was heat pressing and carrying out quality control checks on all the linen and prints and even did a bit of screen printing too. I also got to see how a small company like this is run and get a real feel for it.
