I so appreciate you giving us this advice. Your prices are very reasonable. I have a lot of pottery I have done and want to sell. You are inspiring me to now get it done. You have such a nice voice.
You should definitely get your pieces out there and if you are motivated to sell you will definitely get buyers. Pottery sells so well no matter what level you are at as long as they have some reasonable quality and aesthetic.
Very cool to see how you price it all out and how much value you can get in one kiln. My kiln is the same size. I'm just starting to get into selling. What tops do you like to use for your oil pourer pots? The whole load looks great!
You can probably figure its about 80-90% labor costs. A 1lb or 2lb of clay depending on type is really only about $.50 to $1 for materials. Energy costs are not really much more than that.
Hmm, I think this advice is sound where the local population had disposable income - if you live in an area where people are piss poor and can buy cups/mugs from charity shops then you may not find it easy to see a return for your investment.
I don't think its much of an issue like you suggest. I know and have seen a lot of potters who live in rural unincorporated towns with no money and are able to support themselves as full time potters. People will travel hours to buy pottery.

Awesome guidelines…thank you for your honesty!!
Your welcome!
Thank you so much. First video I have seen on this subject, and I loved it. Your next opening could you show some of your larger pieces.
That was my major inspiration for making it, money seems to be such a taboo thing to talk about. Glad you got something out of it!
Very helpful thanks for the transparency!
this was super helpful. thank you. (beginner potter here)

These are sized to use the same opening as a wine bottle, so anything you find sized for that would work. Mine came from amazon.
thank you for this video!!
Your welcome hope it was helpful
