021 - Shaping Ceramics & Selling at Markets with Avé of Avé Rivera Studio

Hello & Welcome to Episode 21 of Roll Play Grow, the podcast for tabletop entrepreneurs, creators, and fans. I am Courtney Stover of Lightheart Adventures, and in this podcast, we talk to the creators behind the brands in the tabletop roleplay gaming space about who they are and how they are turning their passion for gaming into a career. Avé is the talented creator behind Avé Rivera Studio where she makes gorgeous and nerdy pottery. She makes D&D themed mugs, fun jewelry and trinket trays, cute stickers and apparel, and more. You’ll have to make sure you’re following her on Instagram, YouTube, and/or Twitter, because her mug restocks tend to go super fast. Ave’s been running her business for six years, and it was really interesting to learn about the lessons she’s learned in that time, including working at markets, vendoring at the Renaissance Faire, balancing Etsy, a separate web store, blogging, YouTubing, and dealing with burnout. I really enjoyed chatting with Ave, and she has a lot of knowledge to share and I know y’all will enjoy listening to her.Real quick, before we jump into this interview, I want to mention some other ways you can support us and this show.
