Pricing. Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of artists and makers quite like putting a number on their work. But nothing impacts your ability to make a living from your work like price.
In this in-depth guide, artist and creative business coach Megan Auman takes the mystery and the fear out of pricing your art, craft, and handmade products.
Drawing on her experience pricing her own work and over a decade teaching pricing to artists and makers, Auman walks you through every part of the pricing process, from calculating labor and expenses to determining profit.
