When you think about pricing your work, your workshops, your services, and your final collections ... do you just want to throw up?

There is so much emotional influence associated with landing on that final number.

And that's before even asking someone to pay it...

I get it. I’ve been there personally and I see it when I work with artists to define or refine the price points.

Coming up with your own pricing and what you’re going to charge for one-of-a-kind pieces, prints, and services shouldn’t be painful.

In this episode, let’s look at a stackable formula you can use to account for the true cost of your work. This takes you out of emotionally driven pricing – which can feel arbitrary to both you and your customers. And it gives you more control over your pricing decisions so you can set them once and for all.
