Make Merch Masterclass: Turn Your Artwork Into Merchandise Without Holding Stock

Your artwork doesn't have to stay on a canvas.

You've made the work. People love it. And you've probably had at least one person say, "I'd wear that."

Here's the thing: you don't need 50 T-shirts in the garage, a pile of mailer bags or a degree in printing to make that happen.

The Make Merch Masterclass is a one-hour, step-by-step walk-through of how to turn the artwork you already have into merchandise using Printful. Clothing, bags, prints, homewares, gifts, products with your name on them, made when someone orders, not before.

This is for you if:

• You're an artist, illustrator, photographer, maker or designer with work you're proud of

• You've thought "I'd love to see my art on clothing" and then stalled on how it works

• You don't want to buy stock you might not sell

• You don't have the money, or the shelf space, to hold inventory

• You want another way for people to connect with your art (and another income stream, if it suits you)

By the end you'll know how to:

• Choose which artworks suit which products

• Set up Printful and understand how orders flow through it

• Connect it to your website

• Turn one artwork into a small, cohesive range

• Start without a big financial risk

"I've set this up for my own brand and walked artists through it as part of their Squarespace builds."
