2023/04/30

Overall, it was a fair and foul month, but like some say, “Done is better than perfect, and perfect is never perfect but only better “. Many times, you just need to keep showing up for yourself and others. Losing a whole buying community will take a while to walk off, but I had already started diversifying last year and so only lost about 1/3 of my revenue. I’m a big community guy, and my peeps were so much fun. I do hope to rebuild in some way on a platform that is more supportive, maybe. May I

The Pin Tool Podcast | Pottery | Ceramics | Small... ·

2022/11/29

I had a situation where I needed to have pots at three different places on the same weekend. In one show, all direct marketing was required to sell, as very few, it seemed, came to buy pots. I felt out of place outside my Story base/ Permission base comfort zone. I was able to meet my goal of selling one pot. But in a direct marketing environment, I had to work harder for it. You may get a chuckle out of this episode, as many of you who sell in shows may only do direct marketing. Which do you

2022/09/29

I made the trip from Laceyville, Pennsylvania to the beautiful upstate New York though the farm land with my father to pick up an old time treadle wheel. I found the treadle wheel on Facebook marketplace for a great price. I always wanted to try one, and having one would make my pottery off grid. It was a stand-up treadle wheel that was rather large and heavy, with a one-hundred and twenty-five pound fly wheel. Books Mentioned: A Potter's Book by Bernard Leach Warren Mackenzie: An American

2022/06/15

When you hire a plumber to stop over and fix a leaky pipe, you need them to show up and try to do their best work, or at least meet your expectations in doing the work. As potters and artists, we may need to practice in showing up in very much the same way. Allowing the customer to have a positive experience with you can be good for sales, lead to more work, and even on days when you might not feel all that happy about what you do. I have found if difficult at times in learning to love what I

Many things influence the art we create, and those influences show up in the work though our hands.
