If you’re contemplating turning your jewelry making or metalsmithing into an actual business there are a number of things to consider. Some questions you're likely to consider are business-specific: Do I incorporate? Get insurance? Marketing? Where will I sell? How will I price my work? Others are more personal: Am I good enough? How big of a risk am I taking? Will I hate making art if it’s under pressure?
In “Do I Keep My Day Job?” artist, instructor, and guest lecturer Rachel Morris will delve into these and other topics. This lecture and Q&A will give you the resources to develop and take action on a next-steps list. Be prepared for a firehose of ideas, inspiration, and things to ponder as you make the leap!
