PRICING YOUR WORK: GETTING PAID FOR WHAT YOU DO:
While many artists excel at the design and production of their work, they feel far less confident when it comes to deciding what the price ought to be. Most want to be compensated fairly, but what does that mean? Too often, a number is plucked out of the air because it feels about right. In this workshop we discuss what to consider as you ''do the math'' both for people who are producing products and for those providing services.
