You don’t want dip and crumbs on your artwork. Wine? If serving wine in your space, make sure that you keep it in your control. Serving refreshments is not always practical. And it won’t be right for everyone. But sometimes simple refreshments can help set a mood and make visitors to your studio feel welcome.
Be sure to serve simple, easy-to-eat or drink items. You don’t want people to be too distracted by the food or drink, and you don’t want to serve anything that might make a mess in your studio.
- Avoid anything sticky or messy that might get on your work.
- Avoid anything that requires concentration to eat, that would take visitors’ attention away from your work.
- Avoid anything difficult to serve. You want to concentrate on talking with your customers, you don’t want to spend the day focused on serving food.
- It is not about the expense, it is about the thought. And don’t forget a trashcan.
