Product Description

"Craft, Inc." is the ultimate guide to turning an artistic hobby - from knitting and sewing to beading and making soap - into a viable business. Deciphering topics such as copyright law and sales tax, this accessible handbook translates business basics for the person who would rather wield a crochet hook than a calculator. Lessons on developing and pricing products, sales and marketing, hiring help, and the world of trade shows round out the book. Throughout, interviews with such craft superstars as Jonathan Adler, Lotta Jansdotter, Denyse Schmidt, and Jill Bliss offer inspiration and real-world advice. Upbeat, practical, and easy to use, "Craft, Inc." is an essential tool of the trade for crafters.

great book
This is a really good book for both the complete newbie to selling and those that need a little nudge in the right direction.
It is full of interviews with practising artists/makers and really breaks it down into sensible steps you need to take.
Even though it is american and I work in the UK I still found most chapters filled with really good advice.
I would recommend this to anyone starting up a business or who needs an injection of enthusiasm.

Handy little book!
I got this book a couple of months ago and now coming into the new year ive been trying to motivate myself to get my ideas off the ground. Great little book to help you start your craft business. Interviews with artists and business owners. Im a Uk based designer and i found this book very useful.
