The Professional Guidelines have been developed as a reference to help everyone in the arts and crafts community learn how to handle common but important situations that may arise. These documents are basic tools for improved and equitable business practices, leading toward more standard professional practices.
This information is provided for your professional success but if you don't find your answers, refer to my blog, ASK Harriete where many topics are covered in detail with real life examples. You can also ask me your questions.
