What are typical costs of events/festivals/fairs to sell your pottery? What types of events are best selling events (fair, craft fair, street fair or festival)? What are your sales goals for these events? When do you know if you're good enough to try a juried event? Are there specific juried events you recommend, i.e. ZAPP or just local juried events? Do you do any commission work? As an example, I had a potential customer as me to make a set of plates in a very specific color of blue. @tiffanycarperceramicsSend us questions so we can answer anything you've been thinking about on a future episode.
