Taking on a bit of a traditional guild role for a moment—let’s talk about pricing.

I’m a big fan of Selling to Stores by Megan Auman, which offers a thoughtful framework for pricing that actually reflects the full picture: materials, time, overhead, profit (yes, you deserve that), and retail markup.

Because pricing isn’t just a number—it’s how we sustain our practices and value our work.

How do you approach pricing?
How do you account for fluctuating metal costs?
How do you stay competitive while still honoring your worth?

Let’s keep this conversation going in the Guild forums—we’d love to hear how you’re navigating it. Join us at seattlemetalsguild.space, our new online community. Link in bio.

So much of what we learn at the bench comes from one another. Our March Metals Mixer is focused on techniques — subtle processes, problem-solving moments, and the ways we adapt materials and tools over time.

Whether you’re sharing or simply joining to learn, we hope you’ll be there📍Wed March 18th (that’s a date correction!) in the Central Area.

Members, please RSVP on our events page, link in bio.
