In this workshop Michèle will cover the basics of scoping and pricing your work as an artist, including:

• what do I want to generate and achieve with my creative paid work?

• what are my work 'products'?

• how do I work out my rate?

• what tools can help me calculate different rates for different projects?

• what are my bottom lines and non-negotiables?

This workshop is perfect for emerging professional artists, can also benefit established artists who struggle with the business part of the job or just need a refresher, and also anyone considering the possibilities of a career in the arts.
