If you sell handmade pieces on Etsy, Amazon Handmade, Shopify or Instagram, you’ve probably asked yourself:
- Am I charging enough for my work?
- How do I include resin, pigments, mould cost, labour and Etsy fees in one price?
- Why do other artists charge more — and customers still buy?
Handmade pricing is tricky because you're not only selling materials.
You're selling your time, skills, creativity, tools, electricity, packaging — your art.
To help makers earn fairly, we created a free Handmade Pricing Calculator for resin art, jesmonite, plaster, polymer clay, candles and more handmade crafts.
