Workshop 1: Story First: Making Sales Part of the Process
6-8 pm, Wednesday 22nd April
Most artists wait until a piece or collection is finished before they begin to talk about it, which means the offer often arrives without context or momentum. In this workshop, we shift the pattern of sales as an add on and look at how story can be woven through the making process itself.
