This is a live virtual workshop, and will start on April 11, 2022 at 11:00 am UK time. In this workshop, you will learn about how to start a shop on Etsy. It can be very overwhelming at first but we can do it together step by step. Hope to see you there! Hola! I'm Silvina, an Argentinian paper artist living in Brighton, UK. I'm the captain of the Brighton Etsy Team and I'm very passionate about community. My shop, MyPapercutForest, is a playground for my imagination, a place to try out new ideas, artworks and designs. A place to be free from my own name (and from the kids!). Here, I create, make and sell a range of artworks including paper cut sculpture boxes, miniature paper domes, illustrations, prints, greeting cards, and loads of other unique objects. All designs are by me, and all items are handmade with love in Brighton, UK.

This is a live virtual workshop all about Product Photography for your Etsy Shop! The event will start at 11:00 AM CT. If you want to take product photos and listing videos that help you increase sales for your Etsy shop, you need to watch this live!
In this workshop we will discuss equipment options (you can absolutely just use your smart phone), lighting, backgrounds, styling shots, types of photos you need, how to create listing videos, and more! I will also share my favorite tips and tricks to help bring your products to life for shoppers that can't touch them in person. We'll end the session with questions and answers as well as a brainstorming session for fun lifestyle photo ideas.

About the host: Hi! I'm Christine Long Derks, owner of TreasureGoddess Etsy shop. I create hand dyed saturated tonal colors on luxury yarn that takes your breath away. I have been an Etsy seller since 2006 and it's become such a great way to build my business.
I have a passion for product photography and love teaching other Etsy shop owners my favorite tips and tricks to create product pictures that get seen, and that sell! It's so much easier than you would think!
My favorite inspiration is my reviews and messages from customers. I love hearing how the yarn is even prettier and more saturated colors than on the photos, as well as seeing what my yarn grows up to become in the hands of these Etsy fiber artists!
