The Artisan Group is an amazing place for serious handmade designers, and by joining the team you can find opportunities that you most likely won't find on your own. I am a long time member of The Artisan Group and I am enjoying being a part of the team of talented artisans. Owner of the company is a sweetheart and amazing person who works hard to make every opportunity happen! I had an exciting opportunity to participate in TV show giftings, gifted number of very famous celebrities and, also, participated in pre-Oscars gifting lounge and Golden Globes gifting suites and my handmade jewelry was presented to many film/TV talented people and I even made networking connections with some! Every event that I participated in is helping me to market my products and makes my designs more special. I saw someone was having an issue that you had to pay to send your designs for TV/film projects to use it "for free" - well, let me not sugar coat it for you. Did you know that there is no such thing as freebie marketing, especially to celebrities and other talent in any industry? As a designer who makes a living by selling my handmade designs, I always have marketing budget set aside and do not expect my stuff to be promoted for free because it is not how it works in the world of business. Bottom line - if you are talented and highly skilled handmade designer or artist in any medium with serious portfolio and serious intentions about marketing your products to various talent, you will benefit from The Artisan Group membership. It will definitely help getting your name out there and every opportunity that you participate in will be tremendous tool to market your products.
You join this group assuming you are going to get your products in the hands on celebrities- not. You have to produce the mim of 250 individual products and pay to be in these gift bags. Some gift bags tiers are $75-500. It is a risk of paying for this because you may not hear nothing back from any celebrity but you're out of products plus money for the gifts bags. The company is set up where the owner and her friends get to enjoy going to the award shows, fancy dinners, and meet n greets but you get nothing. The owner is also very rude and unprofessional

I was excited when I was accepted to The Artisan Group. Shortly after I was added to Facebook and introduced, I was removed, blocked, and banned by the owner without an explanation. I later found out it was because another member, someone I had partnered in business with previously had lied to the owner. I am not the only one this happened to; another business owner I had partnered in business with had the same thing happen to her, as well.
I find it unprofessional and unfortunate that the owner relies on childish antics of dishonest people when making professional business decisions. I suggest avoiding this group, because it is apparent that the owner isn't really the one running this group, but instead allows its members to set the tone and atmosphere for this business.
So in a nutshell, this company makes you feel "special" if they accept you. They make you pay them yearly AND you must GIVE them free jewelry. They offer YOUR free jewelry to TV shows and "maybe" you'll see your designs on a show. I say huge con because anyone can give free stuff to shows, what most people don't know is that the shows will pay wholesale prices and actually BUY your jewelry if they like it. The Artisan Group is taking your money and hard work and making it sound like they're doing some great service. In reality, they're charging you and taking your work to "gift" these shows. NOW, many shows expect free stuff! Real jewelers and designers should know their worth and understand that they should be paid for their work. This company is profiting from your hard work and conditioning these shows to NOT PAY (or do the shows pay The Artisan Group and the money doesn't go back to the designer? Hmmm). In the end, the jewelers and designers lose out and The Artisan Group is laughing all the way to the bank.
