Selling Your Craft Online at Society for Contemporary Craft


I'm very excited to teach at Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh this Fall! Selling Your Craft Online will take place October 27 from 10am to 4pm. Registration is online here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/home.asp?studioid=23447  Tuition is $50 + a $5 Materials Fee.*

I will cover the basics of online marketplaces, product tips, photography, pricing, branding and marketing, packaging and shipping, custom orders and more! Participants will be provided with the tools to transform their creative products and ideas into online sales. 

This class is designed to guide creative makers through the A-Z process of selling online, from inception of the product to setting up shop to customer delivery. There will be a focus on the use of online marketplaces to facilitate sales, such as Etsy, DaWanda and 1000 Markets. Handouts, templates and digital files will guide students both during the workshop session and upon returning home so that everyone leaves able to set up and run an online store through to the final sale. The workshop will be presented in an interactive lecture style, with a combination of digital presentation, demonstrations and individual work time. Students are encouraged to bring a small sampling or photos/drawings of the products they plan to sell.
