A couple of weeks ago, Maria launched one of the most significant ventures since she opened her Schoolhouse Studio, she opened up an Etsy Page (Etsy is the global arts website) and is selling potholders, postcards, posters, wool, and soon, vintage scarves, sketches and other artworks.

This has been successful she is selling her art regularly there and it is easy for buyers, they can go on the site 24/7 and don’t need to e-mail anybody. She is not going to sell her quilts on Etsy, only on the blog.  She explains why in the video.

This afternoon, she asked if I would take a video in the studio, so she could talk about her very different potholders, going up on Etsy today – there, she is fullmoonfiberart , and there is also a link from her blog.

Come and see her talk about this new initiative, I think it is very important. We have a lot of fun doing these videos together, I didn’t know Maria had a sense of humor when I first met her, I never saw it. I see it a lot now. Come and see what’s going up on Etsy, new potholders and a beautiful hand-sewn lace hanging piece.

You can also see how Maria is learning how to sell her art all over the country from her much loved studio.
