Artists + Creatives...
Â
Is selling your work during the holiday season overwhelming?
Â
It doesn't have to be! Holiday gift-givers are just waiting for you to show up, consistently and with authenticity, to help them find beautiful and thoughtfully - created treasures. By telling your story and strategically launching products for the holidays, you can grow and sell to your audience more intentionally than ever before.
It's time you launch your Holiday Shop with the confidence your work deserves!
Â
ENROLL NOW
Picture this: your customers are irresistibly drawn to your work in person or online, enticed by the visual symphony you've crafted.
Your investment of time now will pay off in the future.
You have begun your art career but you feel frazzled and frustrated,
the holidays snuck up on you last year and you got all the ideas but you only had a week or two to get everything ready so you didn't even bother.Â
I know! I've been there too!
And then you said, "next year, it'll be different, I'll plan ahead and get this thing going early!"
It's now next year! Now it's summer: the kids are home, your family is visiting, your life is busy and you are saying, "I'll plan next month..."
Don't wait, let's make it happen!
Just a couple of hours a week NOW will save you time, energy, and effort in November when you are wishing you had gotten yourself together to bring your beautiful work to your audience.
HERE'S THE BEST PART: We're going to do it together!
Join me for a LIVE virtual workshop, September 16-27 to get you and your art business ready to sell during the holiday season.

I loved the reminder to take a breath when the feeling of overwhelm takes over. I hate the Whack a Mole syndrome.

“Sarah's instructions were so clear and helpful!”
I couldn't believe how much I learned from her workshop - from photographing to telling my story, I am ready to do this!
– Kathy (past workshop student)
“Great class, interesting teacher.”
Sarah was engaging, friendly, and presented the material in an interesting manner. The beautiful examples offered inspired me to move ahead and give the process a try.
– Karen M (Skillshare student)
Hello friends! I'm Sarah,
I am so excited to walk through this LIVE virtual workshop with you to help you plan and execute your holiday sales this year! Before I started launching my online Holiday Shop back in 2018 I had no idea that this was even a possibility for me and my art business! Year one I took what my audience was responding to and launched just a few ornaments. Each year I listened and added and now I am excited to launch my holiday shop each year with fanfare and confidence. I want to help you reach your audience this season!

There is nothing like being in the room with other creative souls. Hands down, the time I have had the courage to voice my ideas to a group, the more I have grown not only in my art practice but in my business!
You'll hear from four amazing guest speakers!
They've been through this and learned a few things along the way. These special guests will give you a little window into their holiday offerings over the last several years in business. Each of their lessons appears in the bonus section of the course.
