Good luck with the Fair, Steven. Maybe you can talk to some of the other people there and find out about other opportunities.

Thanks Keith. Have you sold much at craft fairs? I'm not sure yet how to price anything.

Keith Tilley said...

Not recently, I mostly sell at art shows now.

Pricing is always difficult and I can't really advise a figure. It depends a lot on what the market is like in your area. The best way is to look around galleries, craft shops, framers etc and see what other people are selling for. You also have to take into account that better-known artists can get better prices. Works on sale in commercial outlets will usually include a commission of 30% - 40%, so the price you see is not what the artist gets.

I think you would do best to keep the prices low and hope to sell a few. There is nothing like having people buy your work for boosting your confidence.
