Skillshare teacher Justin Bridges

Creative skill and business acumen don’t always go hand-in-hand, and that’s ok! In this workshop you’ll join two creative professionals for an inside look at how to build an income as an artist, and how to manage the income you build. This is a fun, practical, and accessible workshop for artists of all kinds who need some guidance and motivation to transform their work into their livelihood. You don’t need any special tools or supplies for this workshop. Great for aspiring artist entrepreneurs at all levels.
