Happy to hear someone else's experien...Hi Erin,<br />Happy to hear someone else's experience. I feel like this co-op is a very low percent. She plans on having loads of classes and birthday parties in the back to keep folks coming in. Maybe she plans on getting her profits from there. Who knows. But the best part is I can pay an extra 10% of my sales and not work. I wouldn't be able to commit to the time either. I have a couple consignment galleries and they are good steady income but I need a few more to make it easier for me to break from other job stuff to make jewelry. I would much rather spend a day making jewelry for several places all at once than just one. Does that make since? Ah, the struggle for the perfect balance never ends....<br /><br />Have a great day!Jennifer Jangleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163441563801828015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879259012825657378.post-76249592579163640372013-04-25T09:58:40.170-04:002013-04-25T09:58:40.170-04:00I hope it is a good opportunity for you! I have be...I hope it is a good opportunity for you! I have been part of a local artists' co-op for about 5 years now. I pulled back my membership a bit in the last year to deal with a mounting family issue. They are now coming back hard and wanting me back full time. I am not sure that I can feasibly commit. I really do need to get more of my work in there, and I do have a lot I just need to organize, but the % they take really makes me second guess doing it. If I want to pay more dues I can get a lower rate, but I also have a commitment to work there. Time is my nemesis. It sounds like you have some great opportunities lined up and I look forward to hearing more as you fascinate me, Miss Jennifer! Enjoy the day.
