Does anyone sell their jewellery in galleries? I have recently sold a few pieces via a relatively new gallery, but Im finding getting payment from the owner rather difficult! Most galleries take 40% (or even 50%) commission, which is tough enough, but it is good way of promoting your work...so I dont mind too much...
However, when paying the artist is slow, and the gallery records seem very lax (as in not knowing which pieces have sold, prices etc)...it does make it very frustrating!! Has anyone else come across this, and how do you deal with it? I keep records of everything I have sent to galleries thank goodness, but I am finding having to chase payments exhausting and it is taking away from the enjoyment of actually making jewellery. Not sure what to do! I dont really want to go down the route of craft stalls etc....but maybe it is something I should consider?
