You can sell
your work to shops.
Welcome to Indie Retail Academy, where makers learn to sell their work to independent stores.


















"Clare is the best resource for artists who want to expand into shops and stop feeling rubbish about being rejected."

You want a steady income from selling the lovely thing you make.
Getting your work into indie stores could help you get there, but you've been putting it off because:
Indie Retail Academy is owned by a shopkeeper who's helped thousands of artists since 2012. How about we make things easy and straight forward for you, too?

"10 years ago Clare reviewed my website and portfolio - it was such a help. Now I'm selling to over 200 shops, including Barnes and Noble."

Being ghosted by stores is the worst.
Asking retailers to buy your work can be exciting at first. But if you don't know what we expect, you can end up in a frustrating rut. Comparing yourself to other artists. Blaming yourself when you don't hear back. Wondering if the lovely thing you make is good enough.
I'm Clare and I've been running my own store for 15 years. I can help you step off the rollercoaster by kitting you out with artist-friendly tools and guidance every step of the way. Knowledge is power and feeling powerful is what you need right now. Find out more about me.
