Product Description

By a professional crafts person, for the want-to-be professional crafter.

Not just about selling your crafts, but successful career building--covers aspects of teaching and finding arenas in which to promote yourself and your work.

Very first full-color visual guide to making money with your crafts.

Experienced crafters--the ones who make their living at making, selling, and teaching crafts--are constantly answering questions such as "What did you do before this?" and " How did you start making a living and how can I get that job?" For many crafters, selling their art and teaching others how to do it--full time--is just a dream. The Savvy Crafter's Guide to Success guides crafters through the maze of the world of crafting with pertinent information on how to build and maintain a craft business; how to teach the best arts and craft classes; how to write regularly for craft/home publications; how to get your designs sold; plus explains the ins and outs of the business of crafts.

In addition, the book features profiles and interviews with a diverse range of crafters who have found their own way to building a successful crafting business.

About the Author

Freelance artist Sandra McCall has been making art since majoring in commercial art. She quickly decided that the field was too restrictive for her and began working in multi-medium art and assemblage while paying the bills with a job as an accountant. She began making her original drawings and eraser carvings into rubber stamps and eventually found a whole new career. Today, Sandy has authored three books, created instructional DVDs, designs new projects and teaches rubberstamping.
