For working creatives

Your shop, and the club behind it

Every member gets two things with one account. A storefront the public can buy from, and membership of a private club of everyone else who makes things. The storefront is the door. The club is the reason to stay.

Here to buy? The shop needs no account.

The first face

A storefront anyone can buy from

Your storefront is a public page with your work on it and a way to pay you. Prints and originals. Records and merch. Digital files. Patronage tiers your patrons pay for monthly. Releases the public can stream and professionals can license.

Nobody needs an account to buy from you — a card and an email address is the whole of it. Phyrne brokers the payment through Stripe, takes its cut, and sends the rest to your own account.

The second face

A club of everyone else who makes things

Imagine every seller on Etsy. Now imagine that having a shop there quietly made you a member of a private club of every other seller — the ceramicist two streets over, the composer who needs a voice, the printmaker with spare press time.

That club is Phyrne. Calls for collaborators, swaps, introductions, mentorship, gatherings with real doors, and — only if you ask for it — the dance card. It comes with membership, whether or not you sell.

What is behind the door

A doorway seen from a dim hall, opening into a warm room where people talk over a long table covered in prints and instruments

Who is in here

Six kinds of member, one club

The club works because the people in it do different things. A filmmaker needs a composer. A composer needs a poster. Everybody needs somebody who has done it before.

Musicians and bands

Sell the record, stream the single, license the track, and find the guitarist who can make Thursdays.

Visual artists

Originals and editions, commissions taken on your terms, and patrons who fund the next series.

Animators and filmmakers

Stream the short, license the film, and find the voice, the score and the colourist.

Designers and makers

A shop without the marketplace noise, and other makers to swap materials, skills and kiln space with.

Photographers

Prints, editions, second shooters, and the stylist who was going to say yes anyway.

Writers

Chapbooks and zines, serialised work for patrons, and the illustrator your next one needs.

Sell

Get paid for the work, not for the posting

A storefront, patronage tiers, releases to stream and license, and payouts into your own account. No boosts, no paid placement, no reason to feed a feed.

Open a storefront See how selling works

What you can sell

Your storefront

One public page. Physical goods, originals, editions, digital files. Your prices, your shipping, your terms.

Patronage tiers

Monthly support with something behind it — studio notes, work in progress, something in the post. Billed by us, paid to you.

Releases

Upload a track, an album or a film once. The public streams it, professionals license it. Same file, two doors.

Licensing

Sync, editorial, commercial, venue. One price per licence type, one rights-holder, no negotiation you did not ask for.

Payouts

Stripe Connect pays into your own bank account. We take our cut on the way past and hand you the tax paperwork.

Make together

The other half of the work is other people

Calls for what you actually need, swaps with no invoice at the end, mentorship measured in hours rather than platitudes, and introductions to the person who does the thing.

What the club is for

Calls

A noticeboard that says what it means: a guitarist, Thursdays, Brooklyn. Post one, or answer one.

Swaps

A logo for a ceramic set. A mix for a music video. Both sides agree in writing before anything ships.

Mentorship

Ask for one, or offer one. A subject, a few hours a month, and a person who has already done it.

Introductions

Industry networking without the room full of lanyards. Who does what, who is looking, who will vouch.

Belong

A door, a room, and people who were read before they came in

Gatherings with real addresses, a club you have to be let into, and a dance card that stays switched off until you switch it on.

Ask to come in Read the code of conduct

Behind the door

The club

The private side. Members in good standing, and nobody else — not the public, not search engines, not us in public.

Gatherings

Shows, studio nights, listening parties, critiques and suppers. Hosted by members, in cities we are actually in.

The dance card

Dating inside the club, switched on only if you ask. Same vetting, same conduct, same people.

Trust

Why this room is not a marketplace

Every member was read by a person before they got in. Everybody signed the same page. And the work stays yours.

Vetting

A person reads every application. Effort is the first filter, and it removes most of what makes rooms unpleasant.

The code of conduct

One standard, signed by everyone, enforced with consequences. Breaking it costs your membership.

Your rights

You own your work, your prices and your buyers. Phyrne is the counter, not the gallery.

The public

You do not have to be a member to buy

Most of the people who pay a Phyrne member will never see the club. They came for one record, one print, one licence — and they can have it in a minute, with no account to make.

Collectors

Buy the print, the pot or the original from the person who made it, with their handwriting on the parcel.

Listeners

Stream the record, back the artist monthly, own the pressing. No app, no account, no algorithm.

Licensees

License a track or a film from the rights-holder, at a stated price, with the paperwork attached.

I came to sell mugs. Eleven months later I have a woodworker who makes my plinths, a photographer who shoots the glaze properly, and a standing invitation to a supper I would have been too shy to ask about. The mugs are doing fine too.

Questions, answered

The short answers. The help page has the long ones.

What does it cost?

Opening a storefront is free. Phyrne takes 8% of every sale, patronage payment and licence, plus Stripe's processing fee. The club comes with membership, whether or not you sell, and membership has no fee of its own.

Do my buyers need a Phyrne account?

No. A buyer needs an email address and a card. The club is the part you apply for; the storefront is open to anyone on the internet.

Is this a dating app?

There is a dance card in it, and it stays switched off until you switch it on. Most members never do. Dating is one feature of a club that exists for the work.

How do I get in?

You apply, and a person reads it. We want to know what you make and what you came for. Approval opens the club, and if you came to sell, a storefront is set up for you to open.

What kind of work belongs here?

Music, visual art, animation and film, design and making, photography, writing. If you make something somebody could own, hear, license or commission, this is the right room.

Can I leave and take my work with me?

Yes. Your work and your prices are yours, and so are your buyers: every order carries their name and email address. Close the storefront and we stop selling for you, and your work leaves the public side that day.
