Welcome To My Blog: The Art Of Selling Your Arts And Crafts.....

These words are my adventures as an artist. I have been one for over twenty years, in fact, I am a third generation artist, daughter of Helen and Leonard Breger, well known San Francisco Bay Area artists.

My work has been in The Smithsonian's Renwick Museum as well as many other fine galleries and stores worldwide.

I write this blog with bunny slippers on, vanilla latte in hand, a pumpkin candle, fireplace on, and a cat on my foot.

Welcome!

I Taught The All-Day Classes...

Well, I did it....I flew down to San Francisco from Oregon and taught my classes all day yesterday at B.A.B.E., Bay Area Bead Extravaganza. Got paid too!

The number of students who attended each class was satisfying, just right in fact, so that every student was able to get some personal attention pertaining to goals.

The first class was The Art Of Selling Your Arts And Crafts. The students were eager and hungry for information about how to move to the next level in selling their crafts online, at shows, and to stores mainly. I feel good about the goals each student left with for moving forward.

The second class was Getting Your Work Into A Gift Catalog, which I also felt was successful. A lot of information was fed to the students but they did not seem overwhelmed. In fact, they seemed excited and again goals were set toward moving forward.

I believe some will, as a follow-up to the class, actually, work toward getting their work into fine gift catalogs, and some will purchase my tutorial about getting their work into catalogs as well: (www.etsy.com/shop/miniaturesbynanette) .

In the meantime, I scoured the bead show, and some antique shops for unique and wonderful findings and baubles to fill my Steampunk Suppliers store on Etsy, items that will enhance the work of jewelry artists in unique ways.

A number of students expressed interest in one-on-one coaching about their work so I will keep you posted.

All in all, the day was very fulfilling not the least of which was because my daughter was with me the whole day assisting, so I am beaming this morning.

Love,
Nanette
