 Practical
Professionalism
The focus in this class will be on the practical
aspects of making a living as a professional quilt maker. Discussion
topics will include: Resumes and artist statements, photography,
portfolio presentation, exhibit opportunities, galleries, commissions,
publishing, organization, teaching opportunities, and more. In addition
to presentations by the workshop leader, the class will include
group discussions in which students will be expected to share some
of their personal experiences. There will be an opportunity for
feedback on the presentation materials you are currently using,
and the chance to make changes.
