Mary Jane Bent will be teaching the first workshop, the second weekend will be instructed by Sally Bozzuto. Main emphasis will be on lighting and back drop procedures for digital photography of 3-dimensional artwork. Participants may bring along something to be used in the class, and although we cannot guarantee all will be selected, our goal is to provide as many illustrated examples for maximizing digital image quality as time allows. Please feel free to bring your own camera along as there may be opportunity to use it. In conjunction there will be a separate area to scan slides onto a disc. PF/PCA and guild members are able to bring up to 5 slides for scanning. There will also be another station to crop, re-size, and format disc images for digital and web applications, including A Fair in the Park applications. Please pre-register with Sandy Kephart at the address listed above. Thanks and hope to see you there! |

Your Art'
Presented by Rae Gold
Saturday,
October 28, 2006

You get into the show & your booth looks great, but if you don't understand how to sell your work, none of this will matter. Rae will share the basic steps to creating the sale and what it takes to increase yours.
Through role-playing exercises you will learn how to:
*Gain confidence presenting your work
*Explain your work to a client
*Establish a comfortable relationship with the client
*Listen effectively
*Learn when to "call for the question" (ask for the sale)
*Overcome common objections like "I can't afford it"
*Create the sale
Rae will also discuss how you look, act, the look of your booth & the type of show to apply to. Marketing your work will also be covered: shows, galleries, promotion, etc. Lunch will be provided.
