Online Workshop - What's It Worth?

What should I charge? This question plagues creative practitioners and arts no matter what industry. There are answers, but they are fascinating and complicated.

Working out what to charge for creative products and services can be a colossal challenge. Where to even start? This is a practical workshop that covers the basics of figuring out the price point for creative work, including calculating costs and understanding the marketplace what to charge for creative products and services. 

'What's it Worth?' is vital for any creative struggling to understand the value of their own work, and how to share that value with others. It’s a fun and relaxed workshop that explores a variety of practical options for pricing, specifically designed for artists, makers and creatives. 

You will learn all the following, with a focus on arts practice and creative industries:
