When starting out selling work as a maker or artist the usual route is to sell your work on your own at a market or online shop. Next you might be considering looking to have your work for sale in stores. This is normally done either by selling things on consignment or having the shop buy from you at wholesale (Episode 1 covers wholesaling your work).

Today I welcome my friend Bridget Saprong to the podcast. Bridget is the owner, manager, and curator of The Mutchmor, a beautiful gallery and cafe on Manitoulin Island. The gallery is filled with interesting artwork and handmade goods by local artists and beautiful items sourced from abroad. I have sold my artwork though The Mutchmor for many years and thought Bridget would be the perfect person to chat with about this topic because - she does this very well.
