In this article a studio is taken to be a closed off area where painting, sculpture, ceramics or textile work is carried out, as opposed to an exhibition space.
This leads to my first point.
1: A studio space is therefore private.
You cannot get sales by merely having a studio space so: 2: You need to try and commit to open studio events.
This may prove difficult if there are no such events in your region.
This means not just one open studio event but opening the studio annually or more.
3.
You need to continue to exhibit your work somewhere else than your studio.
Remember that your studio is basically a workspace, rather than a selling space.
This could be a gallery, a hairdressers, dentists or doctors or some other public area.
4.
The local media needs to know about you.
This can be done in conjunction with the open studios or other exhibitions above.
This would be newspapers, radio and television, as well as the internet.
5: Do not build up too much work.
This is easier said than done.
The problem will come when the studio time ends or you run out of space-what will happen to your artwork? So maybe it is best to work on bigger pieces than hundreds of little pieces.
6: Have an internet presence.
Whether this will actually do any good is hard to say, but it is another avenue to explore.
7: Continue to improve your style.
The whole point of a studio is to study your artwork and improve, whether it gets sold or not.
8.
Enjoy creating art.
This one is more or less obvious, but needs to be said.
