Do you feel like you don’t know what to sell your work for?

Are you sometimes shy about telling someone what your art costs?

Maybe you feel like you could be selling more if you were a better salesperson.

Are you ready for your next art sale? Come to the Sell Confidently: Pricing and Selling Your Art workshop to learn how to price your work, prepare for sales and to get rid of that uneasy feeling when you think about selling your work.

This workshop will leave you feeling inspired and confident about heading to your next art event or open studio. And, it’s going to help you make sales.

In this workshop you’ll learn:

  • Pricing – How to price your work and how to be confident about your prices

  • How to engage and interact with customers, even if you’re shy

  • How to prepare for sales, even if you’ve never sold a piece

  • How to be ready for the trickiest of questions

  • Strategies and techniques for selling your work

  • How to add value to your work

  • How to shift your thoughts away from “they can’t afford my work”

Preparing for an art show or inviting people into your studio sanctuary can feel like a daunting task. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to break it down into an easy process that’s doable, even for those that are shy or feel overwhelmed by the thought of putting price tags on their work and standing firm in that price.
