The class is taught by Chris Zielski, artist and owner of Copper Leaf Studios. An artist for over 25 years and business owner since 2007, she brings years of experience building and running a creative business to her courses.
Prior to becoming a full-time artist, she worked in education. Her ability to teach powerful concepts in an engaging, approachable manner is one of the hallmarks of her teaching style.
Questions & Answers:
Do I have to be an artist? Do I have to sell my work?
You do not have to be an artist! Creative professionals – crafters, makers, sewers, bakers, and creative service providers – will all benefit from the material. If you are a solo entrepreneur or micro business (or interested in becoming one), you will find valuable information in this class.
If you have some selling experience under your belt, you’ll get even more value because you’ll be able to draw from and build upon your personal experiences. Beginners are welcome; they’ll find value in setting up their business to be balanced from the beginning. But, you should be interested in the selling part.
Will I receive personal feedback from the instructor?
Yes! This is one of the benefits of an in-person class, and at the core of my teaching style. You will receive individualized guidance so you can walk away with a highly personalized plan for your business.
In addition, you’ll be surrounded by people who share the same goals, dreams, and challenges as you. You’ll have an opportunity to tap into their collective wisdom to be inspired, to brainstorm, and to share ideas.
What if I can’t make the class?
This is the first in a series of workshops geared toward micro creative businesses. If you’d like to come but can’t make it, reach out or subscribe to my newsletter – I’ll keep you posted on future offerings.
If you have a group of like-minded creatives such as an arts league or club and want to take a class as a group, contact me – I offer discounted rates for groups as small as six people.
