If the act of making craft were the key to selling craft, there would be millionaire artists all over the place. But that’s not the case. Marketing your craft can be the hardest part of running a successful craft business. And if you’re new to making, you may be overwhelmed by where to start.

The PA Guild of Craftsmen has a wide range of craft-relevent business classes scheduled in the next two months. All classes are managed by the Guild but occur at three locations. Registration is online and easy. Plus you’re going to recognize a few names below.
