Pricing and The Business of Craft Workshop

Feb. 23, Saturday, 1:30 – 4:30 PM, Blue Ash

• How do I price my work?
• What are the steps in running my studio as a business?
• What about taxes and registering with the state?
• Where can I sell and market my work?
• How do I develop a marketing strategy?
• How do I know that I’m making money?

If these are questions you have been considering, I have a workshop that will give you some answers.

My goal is to give you enough info to make the transition from hobby to a for-profit business; to give you the confidence to conduct business without worrying if you have crossed your tees and dotted your i’s; to give you a leg up so that you are starting on a level playing field with the craft industry.

I opened my full time pottery studio in 1989, and successfully made a living with it for 18 years. I continue to work in clay part-time utilizing some of the more technical vehicles for selling and making a profit.

I conducted this workshop 5 years ago to a packed house at the Pleasant Ridge Community Center, and I’m offering it now for all those who missed it or are just now deciding to go pro. My Etsy.com workshop at Baker Hunt Foundation sold out with over 40 participants.

If you want to know some of the details of what it means to be in business as a craft artist, or are just curious, join us for a stimulating and interactive afternoon.

Cost is $35, $30 for Clay Alliance members
