You have found your passion, now you want to make a living at what you love. But how? You have to develop not only the skills to create art but also get your work into the marketplace. This class will help you understand the steps necessary to run a successful art/craft business as well as teach you tricks of the trade to ensure your art is more than just a hobby.

The class is hands-on, fast paced and fun with tons of hand-outs. Discover why designing your business can be just as much fun and as creative as designing your jewelry. And, yes, it is not only ok to be an artist and to make a living at it, but desirable.
