Not just about selling your crafts, but successful career building--covers aspects of teaching and finding arenas in which to promote yourself and your work.

Very first full-color visual guide to making money with your crafts.

Experienced crafters--the ones who make their living at making, selling, and teaching crafts--are constantly answering questions such as "What did you do before this?" and " How did you start making a living and how can I get that job?" For many crafters, selling their art and teaching others how to do it--full time--is just a dream.

In addition, the book features profiles and interviews with a diverse range of crafters who have found their own way to building a successful crafting business.
