Preparing To Sell

Preparing to Sell is our flagship one-day training programme for makers who want to sell their work with clarity and confidence. We support everyone from emerging makers to established practitioners ready to refine and grow their business.

What Makers Say

"Thank you for organising a really fun, informative, inspirational day today. I’ve left with plenty of food for thought and a greater understanding of how much work I need to do!"

“Fun, informative and inspirational… I left with a much clearer understanding of the work I need to do.”

“It’s given me the confidence to aim for applying to Craft Festival, something I wouldn’t have felt able to do before.”
