We set out as somewhat starry-eyed artists, wanting to make beautiful pieces that anyone and everyone would love to buy... but when we actually start selling art it can be a shock to discover that not all prospective buyers appreciate the value of the work. Michele recalls the icky feeling of having someone at an open studios try to haggle for the lowest price on a piece.
