Costing for Designer-Makers

Synopsis

A practical guide to help craftsmen and designers cost their work. Looks at the main factors involved - including labour, material and overheads and shows how to work out this formula and apply it in different situations, whether for a small object like a jug or a specially commissioned one-off piece. Discusses market research, profit margins and selling methods. Case studies are used to illustrate how designers calculate and apply the costing formula.
