What does it mean to have enough? Can we get rich ethically? How to price our work?
In this week's episode, Sara sat down with Alice Gabb, a lettering designer, activist and banner maker based in East London. We had an honest talk on Alice's entrepreneurial journey, the importance of pricing and valuing our work as full-time artists, and the problems of "Girl Boss" culture.
"People are really curious if I do this as a full-time job. I get that all the time. We've been taught a certain path. Often when I walk to the studio, I just think how lucky I am."
"The struggling artist works for some people, but those people are exceptional. Eventually, when I was able to earn more money, I wanted to make sure that everyone else learned what I had learned. If I don't charge enough for my banners, why am I doing it? You are not helping your community or your industry if you price your work too low. We have a responsibility as artists."
