The Art of Pricing: Strategies for Makers and Artists

Join us for an interactive and collaborative workshop where makers, artists, and creators come together to explore strategies for pricing your work, craft, and time. In this session, we’ll discuss the balance between valuing your creations and maintaining a positive mindset when navigating the often-challenging world of pricing.

Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, this workshop will provide insights on setting fair prices that reflect your effort, materials, and expertise.
Bring your questions, experiences, and an open mind as we dive into the art of pricing with guidance from experienced makers and artists.

Workshop Leader Bio:
Gina Vitale Syrja began Fair Portia as a way to work from home while raising her daughter as a single mom. Completely self taught, Gina felt free to draw from her background as a contemporary dancer and sought out techniques that supported her sculptural lines and fluid approach to no limit designs. After merging her love of textiles with a discovery of soft metal, she embarked on her jewelry journey in earnest. On an infinite treasure hunt, Gina sought materials of highest quality, and was endlessly inspired and drawn to materials such as Venetian Glass, faceted pearls, plush feathers, and more alternative materials not often found in high fashion costume jewelry designed to last. Seeing a gap in the offerings of jewels & tiaras that expressed a bride's independent style, along with solving her problem of finding the most fun jewels representing the very different personalities of all of the best friends in her party, all within budget!
