Our Stuff Matters with Megan Auman (#39) 0

Dec 19, 2019

Megan Auman is a designer and metalsmith who creates bold, wearable jewelry made from steel and recycled sterling silver sold in stores across the U.S.

She is also a focused businesswoman who has helped many artists grow their businesses through her blog, courses, e-books, and consulting at Designing an MBA. That makes her a writer/author, instructor, and entrepreneur as well.

In this episode of the Art Biz Podcast, you’ll hear Megan and I talk about a manifesto she wrote back in 2012 titled Stuff Does Matter. Megan has some insight that will make you feel better about making more art.

You are not contributing to the landfills. What you do is critically important—it's the antidote to mass consumerism.

In this episode, you'll hear a conversation about pricing and why it's critical to get your pricing right—especially not to undervalue your art.

If you're confused about pricing or if you'd just like to validate your price points, see my new pricing guide for artists, How to Price Your Art, at http://howtopriceyourart.com.
