3 hours workshop - 6 to 9 pm Prerequisite: No experience needed.
Whether working with custom orders/bespoke items, or discovering the true value of one’s own work, trusting the pricing system you are working with is paramount. You will learn to break down each jewelry item into a comprehensive list of all the costs. Learn a system to build estimates for anything from design sketches to assembling pre- manufactured parts. Discover how using an Estimate Worksheet provides important advantages. Estimate worksheets provide an excellent tool of understanding when working with commissioned jewelry items.
Outline: In this 3-hour seminar we will explore the different ways to establish “overhead” costs, hourly rates, and per/gram costs for metals. Participants are encouraged to bring their own pieces of jewelry to use with the estimation practice portion of the seminar.
