How to Plan a Private Pop-Up "Home" Party Ah! This is a good one! In my search for better and more independent selling opportunity for artists, namely myself, I have always loved the private party concept. This type of sales party has been around forever, mostly for commercial goods. But artists are doing this type of selling as well, and I would love to see it become popular again. If you haven't tried one, you definitely should! Especially if you have creative friends you can work with, to offer multiple crafts for sale. You can take turns finding new hosts, and make it a fun filler thing to do between craft shows. In my experience, the private pop-up sale works great for the artists, the host is happy to receive gifts for their efforts, and the guests have a great time shopping for unique handmade goods while visiting with friends. We all win!!  What I love about the Private Pop-Up Party: - Easy to organize, especially with friends.  - Zero $$

Short informative videos on all aspects of selling art and crafts at shows. I have been totally geeking out on this for a while now... so I have many lists of topics and ideas, as well as having nearly completed an entire workshop curriculum. Woop!! Ultimately I want to create more online resources for artist, like workshops and ebooks that I'm hoping will be a help for newbies and e
