Are you interested in learning more about how to price your artwork?

Are you selling your work but unsure why you are not earning what you expect?

This class will cover the details of a profit-driven pricing strategy for artists. You’ll discuss pricing for your artwork or art services, wholesale vs. retail pricing, how to identify productive hours and how to approach pricing to achieve a desired income level from your work.

You will leave with a method to price your work, including a downloadable file that can be used when pricing your own work.
