Calling All Artists & Makers
You’re gifted and talented and you LOVE TO CREATE!
BUT how do you get customers to buy your art?
You’re passionate about your work and you WANT TO SUCCEED!
BUT how do you turn those passions into an ‘actual’ business that makes money?
THE FIRST STEP?
CREATE BRANDING that is AUTHENTIC to YOU to help you GET DISCOVERED and shine in a crowded market.
The #1 Question I Get Asked Is…
How Do I Tell My Artistic Story?
I’ve been a mentor for years and I hear many artists & makers ask me things like:
“Sarah, what is my story, how do I tell my ‘Brand Story’? How do I decide on which colours and fonts to choose for my website? Where do I even start? What is a ‘Brand Story’ anyway?”
Lol, well thats about 5 questions but I bet you are thinking the same!
You are searching around the web and on social media being “wowed” by other makers and wondering how to get that kind of attention too!
You are wondering how do you create the visual ‘look’ of your brand?
You want to know what a ‘brand’ actually is and if an artist or maker is a brand anyway?
And, you really want to know where do you start?
YOUR BRAND = YOUR IDENTITY
If you want to GET RECOGNISED and GET ATTENTION,
You’ve got to have your colours, your fonts, your imagery AND your personality work together to TELL YOUR VISUAL STORY so people know and recognise your work.
Your BRANDING MEANS EVERYTHING To Your Art & Maker Business
‘Branding’ is NOT simply a logo, business card, letterhead, the packaging you use and a couple of colours you like,
‘Branding’ is NOT a corporate ‘word’,
…its soooooo much more than that!
‘BRANDING’ IS YOUR ENTIRE ARTISTIC STORY!
Branding is your total overall visual ‘look’. Branding is your written and verbal use of words.
AND for us artists and makers, it’s also our inspirations, drawings, designs, pieces, products and even OURSELVES.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN BRAND!
Find Your Authentic Brand
So I created the Find Your Authentic Brand Course to SHOW YOU step-by-step EXACTLY how to build YOUR brand and get seen!
In the course you will learn:
✦ How to find inspiration entirely within your own art! – Yes thats why the course is called ‘Authentic’ brand!
✦ How to feel confident in brainstorming, finding and collating ALL your favourite drawings, designs, photographs and images of your work into one place.
✦ How to use the skill of turning your brainstorming into ‘visual reference boards’ that you layout and design yourself.
✦ How to find a group of colours and fonts that are totally authentic to YOU and your art or maker practice.
✦ How to design and build your very own Brand Board featuring your OWN authentic brand colours, fonts and images all taken from your OWN art!
✦ And best of all you’ll learn how ‘do’ it all yourself!
✦ AND last, but definitely NOT least, you will learn the totally awesome skill of being able to use the free graphics programme CANVA to accomplish it!
CREATING GRAPHICS, WEBSITES & SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS WILL BECOME A BREEZE WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR BRAND!

Hey There! I’m Sarah McAleer
I’ve been making jewellery for over 25 years now and mentoring artists & makers for around 17 of those! Yup! That’s a bit scary!!!
Throughout the years I’ve made everything from truly challenging exhibition work, through to commercial production lines and collections, but I’m best know for high-end bespoke client commission pieces.
Years ago, I spent 7 years writing a PhD in jewellery history (but that’s another story)!
I’ve set up a studio more then 10 times, run a demanding contemporary jewellery gallery, taught and lectured, trained my own interns and staff, lived in 9 different cities/towns & moved myself and my family to the other side of the world and back!!!
One of the BIGGEST things I’ve learnt along the way is how to turn ‘my art’ into a business and I’ve built a following of loyal clients who have stayed with me for years. In fact they’ve followed me around the world for that matter and stood by me during my recovery!
…and I want to share my secrets with YOU!
I’m on a mission to dispel the MYTH of the poor struggling artist, designer and maker!
YES! I believe we should be paid for our ‘art’!!!
You can turn YOUR creative talents into an art ‘business’ that YOU love AND make money without feeling like you’ve ‘sold out’!!!

But then she showed me all her ‘magic’ ways and I loved seeing all my drawings on her computer. I drew all these myself! Look at all the colours she found – just like a rainbow! My Rainbow!
And I love how my name looks with the little heart above the ‘i’ and all the letters with little curly tails!
Sarah your videos were incredibly informative and fun to watch! ? I’m happy with how my board turned out (although I’m sure it will always be a work in progress as my brand grows). I’m sort of a “fifty shades of grey and pink” kind of gal, as you can tell (although I played around with the colors that I pulled for hours, lol).
Overall I feel like it represents my jewelry style which is ultra feminine, somewhat traditional and classic, with just a touch of whimsy. Hopefully that comes through!
