It's not just a workshop. It's the moment that you listen to that relentless pecking that you want to turn your passion into profit. It's the reward you feel when you make something beautiful or interesting that people keep telling you ought to pursue. The hard part of being an artist is never creating the work, it's believing that it's possible to go from a hobbyist to a professional and navigating the parts of business that don't come easy- that's why we offer free workshops to help you pave the way to honoring your craft. Many thanks to Katie Startzman with the Small Business Development Center to walk us through the first steps into becoming a creative professional! Interested in upcoming workshops? Drop a comment or tag someone you know who needs a nudge! And never quit your daydream ✨
