The Slowmade Collective: A Home & Virtual Sanctuary for Jewelry Artists and Metalsmiths Seeking a Supportive Community and Relevant Business Advice

When I started my business 20 years ago I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I didn’t go to business school and I never dreamed I would one day have my own business. I was as green as it gets. Looking back I know I never would have received the level of success and security within my business without the support of a group of incredible mentors and colleagues… often when I needed it the most.  There were so many times when imposter syndrome led me to undervalue and underprice my work. Times when I said yes to an opportunity that didn’t align with my goals. When I didn’t know how to create a line sheet or how to structure my wholesale terms, or even how to approach a gallery or shop that I wanted to sell to.  There was just so much I didn’t know and having a community of people to lean into, many whom have remained close friends over the years, was so invaluable. They have been the cornerstone of my success and longevity as an artist. And this my friends, is why today I’m doing a special solo episode to tell you about the Slowmade Collective and why I have spent the last few months building a virtual home and sanctuary for jewelry artists. It's a special place and if it feels aligned to your needs I hope you will join us there!
