Session information: Self Promotion and Selling Your Work Online
In association with Sarah Williams and Mimi Gray of Darklight Art, we take a look at how to create your ’shop window’, curating the right work for the right audience, how to talk about yourself, including writing a bio and what platforms and tools to use to get all this in front of the right people. The world of print sales can be daunting. We breakdown step by step how to approach it. Including pricing, print types, editions, where to get your work printed, the basics on running an online store and the best ways to promote your prints.
