So You Think You Want a Pottery Business?
The Stuff No One Tells You about before starting your small Pottery Business 🤣
• You don’t actually spend most of your time making pottery.
A surprising chunk of your week becomes admin, cleaning, photographing, filming, editing, preparing for markets or packing if you sell online.
• Pricing will make you question everything.
Balancing time, materials, overhead, and your own worth is tougher than any throwing skill. It’s supposed to get easier with practice 😳
• You’ll need a backup plan for your backup plan.
Kiln issues, clay & glaze shortages, surprise cracks — flexibility becomes your best tool.
• But also: the wins feel huge.
The first repeat customer, the first glaze that comes out exactly right, someone cherishing a piece you made with your hands… it makes all the chaos worth it.
• Finally……..
KilnGods have Moods 😳🤣🥴
Anyway, that’s my list of “unknowns” nobody warned me about…
What about you? What’s something YOU wish someone had told you before diving into pottery chaos? 👇😅
