ABOUT THE CLASS
You create the artwork—now learn how to present it in your own Etsy shop.
Join artist Monique Cohen for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to selling original artwork and art prints on Etsy. Across three weekly sessions, we’ll break the process into manageable steps, with demonstrations, practice time, and individual guidance.
Whether you’re starting fresh or have a shop that needs attention, bring your artwork photos and work toward a storefront that reflects your creative style.
WEEK ONE: YOUR SHOP STARTS HERE
Explore how Etsy works and what you’ll need to get started. Choose possible shop names, prepare a short artist introduction, and plan your shop’s appearance. New sellers will begin the setup process; existing sellers can review and refresh their shop information.
Your weekly project: A shop plan and prepared artist introduction, with shop setup underway.
WEEK TWO: CREATE AN ARTWORK LISTING
Use your own artwork to practice choosing photographs, writing a clear title and description, and entering details such as size and materials. Explore simple search words, listing tags, and pricing considerations.
Your weekly project: One prepared artwork listing, ready for review or publishing when your account is ready.
WEEK THREE: GET READY FOR CUSTOMERS
Explore packaging, shipping information, shop policies, and customer communication. Review your listing, make improvements, and learn how to share your shop link with potential customers.
Your weekly project: A reviewed listing and a practical checklist for your next steps.
BONUS TIPS & TRICKS
Learn simple ways to organize listing photos, avoid common beginner mistakes, reuse a listing as a starting point, and connect your Etsy shop with your social media.
