I used to make these 20 years ago and was not aware that these plus spoon rests are still popular, I only sell through a club that I am involved in. But I really must get back to making these, they are so simple to make. love it.
I'm more of a slab cutter than a mudslinger so I make things like trinket dishes. I like your video because you showed the skill in real time, and at an angle that was easy to see. You explained how and the why of your actions, at each step. Thanks
Thanks a lot depends on which show I attend. I used to make ocarinas and would usually sell enough to make booth fee. Plus they were a great conversation starter.
That’s what I say. It is always easier to sell to someone who has bought from you before and when someone buys from me I try to get them to follow me on Instagram so they see when I am doing other shows.
For me the smaller items allow me to have a conversation and maybe encourage them to come out to other shows. It is always easier to sell to someone who has purchased before if you are making quality work.
Thanks I feel when selling, creating relationships with customers is the best way to sell your work. By selling something at a lower price point you can engage with the customer.
I think one of the best tips is use clay the is a bit dryer. Keep an even pressure with your fingers spread and keep moving out. Thanks for the question I might have to do a video on making coils.
I got these from a company called Fox Run. They make you buy a large quantity so I have purchased with another potter and then split the order. What she does is makes a small bead of different colors and glues it to the back end of the spreader and then sells the spreaders separately.
I have friends who bring out large items for sale and sometimes don’t sell well. I find if I can sell some smaller items a lot of times they pay for the booth fee. Then at shows That I sell some larger items I do very well. The best thing is creating a connection with the customers and getting their info for future sales.
Interesting concept to give simple pots a "purpose" so that people know what to do with them. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for the tip! I like it. The gateway drug to your pottery! Makes sense. What else sells well for you?

I agree with little things. They open the wallets.

My coils all turn out wonky. What’s your secret for smooth coils?
