FAMILY:

ARTISTIC:
  • All day Saturday 8 am - 10 pm will be designated studio time.

  • Challenge myself technically and with creating compositions.
BUSINESS:
  • Wednesday evenings after dinner, 7pm - 9pm will be set aside for paying bills/accounting/taxes.

  • Start a savings account under the business name.
  • Obtain commercial insurance for the business to protect the investment I've made in my artwork, supplies, etc.
  • Create and maintain a log of individual prints within an edition, where they are, which ones have been purchased, etc.
EDUCATION:
  • Attend a class on Moku Hanga. If anyone knows where I can take a class, please message me.
  • Begin a library of relief printmaking techniques
MARKETING:
  • Resize images at www.erinknolan.com to make the site load faster.
  • Create a calendar solely for the business so I don't over-extend myself and double-book.
  • Create a mailing list to invite people to shows.
  • Create a certificate of authenticity for each print purchased which states the title, ink type, paper type, date of printing, artist name, back story of the piece, etc.
  • Build the professional relationship with Chad Luberger at Plum Bottom Pottery by attending as many of his open houses as possible in Egg Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin.
