Why This Book Matters

Many jewelry makers struggle with the business side of their craft. This book addresses that gap with straightforward guidance from someone who has lived it. Lareau describes the near-loss of her business and the aggressive plan that helped her recover, offering an honest look at the realities of self-employment.

The book also includes an appendix with resources for craft fairs, display and packaging suppliers, small business support, promotional printers, publications, and beading books. For independent jewelry artists, this remains a valuable reference for building a sustainable creative business.
