Learn to sell your art online

Workshop to learn how to sell your artwork and crafts online. Insider's guide to showing and selling your art on the internet.

Are you an artist or crafter who has been thinking about finally taking the plunge to sell your artwork online? How long has starting an Etsy shop been on your "To Do" list? Are you stymied by not knowing where to start, confused by all of the options, uncertain where you fit in?

Bay Area artists, this workshop is for you! Introduction to Selling Your Artwork Online is my overview class designed to teach you the many different options to market and sell your artwork and/or crafts on the internet. Learn the pros and cons of having your own website, selling through print-on-demand websites, selling your handmade work on Etsy or similar sites, using blogs and other social marketing tools, and much more. This information will save you countless hours you'd have to spend to do the research and experimentation on your own, and save you from wasting time and money on the wrong kind of venue for your situation.

 The workshop will be held on Sunday April 14th from noon to 3:30 at The Village Shops and Galleries, 10330 San Pablo Ave (between Stockton and Eureka), in El Cerrito. The cost is $65, which includes an extensive handout.
