At some point I will need to sell some pottery. It is accumulating very fast. I'm a new Potter and my work isn't 1st rate...YET, so I'm neverous about putting it out there and being rejected.

Simon , excellent points on pricing, , Thanks, when making a teapot it's like making 4 pots with ,lid , spout, handle, etc. so they are time consuming , and expensive. The buyer sometimes needs to hear this to be educated. Also a large vase or bowl, can pay as much as a teapot ,and much less time to make , as you know. Time preparing glazes ,and firing must be added ,too. As a beginner potter, I would try to show only my best pots , for sale, be a bit selective Great videos ,

Simon, pricing is a valid subject to bring up and I thank you for taking the step of actually doing this work and talking about it.
It's art, an open subject, and if you're good maybe you will sell. If not, go to pottery barn which unfortunately most people do. God love um.

Yes, I know that feeling when a pot is sold at too low a price. Thanks for speaking on pots that are deserving of more consideration.

Have you ever sold a low priced piece and felt grieved afterwards, that is your gut saying it was too low! It's a lousy feeling to underprice your work. I understand the need to make money to support ones craft but it shouldn't be at the expense of your own self worth. I think it's more dangerous to underprice than overprice.
Simon, you are a gem, I truly appreciate the work you do!

Hi S - I agree with what you say , & underpricing especially ! Its getting the balance right isn't it ! SL

Un tema que estara siempre vigente, como lograr el balance? Creo que un potter de USA ,Jeff zamek escribio "cada vez que uno manipula una pieza, le sube el precio". por eso los bowls, que no llevan manijas ni tapa ni decoracion especial pueden ser de un precio mas bajo.Tambien es importante que uno mismo defina a que publico quiere llegar, y eso define en donde lo va a vender, luego que capacidad de compra tiene ese publico.
Gracias pór los videos. Marta

regarding pricing, a fellow potter once said to me. "If you don't value your work, others will not see value in it either." The value that we put on the price tag can in some cases reflect our level of pride and confidence in our own work.

I think that there is a lot of wisdom in that comment . SL
