    I’ve done 2 art shows. And it’s nice to see your ideas. Love the mug tree! It’s a lot of work doing a shoe and if it’s only part of the day you really need to have things that sell easy to make it worth the hours you put in. I always wonder how I should act, I don’t like bugging people, finding a balance.

    I personally think you are doing amazing, I would be tempted to up some of the smaller easier to throw pieces and down some of the larger pieces. even if you dont end up with perfect inventory its all about keeping that mental up

  • @nancyds14
    @nancyds14 18 дней назад

    Having items bisqued and not glazed is a good idea! Good to have back stock and then flexibility around the glazing. How many glazed pieces do you want for your market at the end of the month? Good point below to not burn yourself out!

Back to pottery- thanks for sharing your challenge, I have no doubt you’ll hit your goal but even if your numbers are off just a bit,that’s still a ton of pots!

    • @BeardedPottery
      @BeardedPottery 20 дней назад

      well it wasn't really wet, I live in a very very dry place at almost 9,000 ft elevation, so things dry out extremely fast. I can dry a mug out in 24 hours to bone dry. Where I learned in Tennessee that could take 3 days. That being said it was close to too wet still. I set an hour hold at 185 degrees after a slow ramp of 100 degrees/hr. I'll be posting a video soon that goes over the kiln schedule that I use, I have it programmed in my kiln and it's helped my bisque come out so much better as a result. congrats on the new kiln!

    • @AniasKitchen
      @AniasKitchen 20 дней назад

      @@BeardedPottery thank you so much. I set mine on 8 h preheat which might be a bit overkill. Pieces were few days drying but it’s pretty humid here. Hopefully no explosions. I’m waiting for the video!

    Whew Week 1 update!! Regarding the cut, have you tried liquid bandage? I have been recommended that from a pottery teacher before, but I don't carry one on mine (I should) and usually I just take the sign that the vibes are no longer good for throwing. But super glue sounds way more hardcore. I thinking change the challenge to how many pieces you have bisqued isn't cheating, since the challenge's purpose is to bump up your productivity. If the challenge was to make you a better glazer or make pieces that you don't usually make, then maybe I wouldn't let it slide :P Also major props for you making videos and reels in addition to your challenge! I am definitely not on the level to try to make even 500 pieces yet in 30 days, let alone also record, cutting clips, overlaying clips, upload, etc. Agree with SdW.8 that you need to include your hours making the media!

    • @BeardedPottery
      @BeardedPottery 20 дней назад

      right now some of those hours are counted, because I edit here at the studio. that way I'm here incase people come by and want to look at stuff I have for sale. but that is a good idea to keep it separate. Yeah I had a nurse tell me years ago that superglue is basically the same thing as liquid bandage. And honestly I feel like the liquid bandage burns but the superglue doesn't haha, so maybe it's better? either way its a lot cheaper!

  • @matamiaa
    @matamiaa 21 день назад

    I think just getting pieces trimmed counts 😃, not getting them glazed is totally reasonable. Even if you don’t hit your goals it’s already impressive don’t be hard on yourself. You are doing the challenge for you, it’s better to come close than to burn out.

  • @SdW.8
    @SdW.8 21 день назад

    Dude it's all about consistency. Your productivity will ebb and flow, because you're human not a robot. I'm confident you'll hit your mark! Don't forget to take them rest days too!! You should tally your hours of filming/editing/posting, so you have a REAL view of the hours you've worked during the week. Much love from the Midwest US 💖

    • @BeardedPottery
      @BeardedPottery 20 дней назад

      thanks! yeah my hours "in studio" have always been hard to calculate. I try to be here when people are in town even if I'm not working on clay stuff because I have things for sale in my shop if people come in. So I've been doing the editing here in the studio for the most part, but that would have been a good idea to see how much time it takes!

      Not dumb at all, but yes one weight on each corner. If it’s really windy sometimes I add a sandbag onto the concrete weights to add extra support. But that’s because we get some crazy wind bursts in Colorado.

      Try to be resourceful. Find free wood. Maybe make some pallet display. But also test your products before spending a ton of money on displays. Make sure you’re ready to sell and people like your stuff. Do small pop ups where you just need a table and some boxes with a table cloth. You can do pop ups for pretty much free.

    • @BeardedPottery
      @BeardedPottery 19 дней назад

      Thanks! Shoes are definitely worth it. You can make great money, it’s just a lot of work. But the real pay off from shoes is 2 or 3 years down the road when you have repeat customers who come to see you every year at the same show and you build your sales up from there. I have a show here where people have seen me for years and show me pictures of all the work they have collected over the years. It’s really cool
