Rebekah Krieger Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have read about many people trading their pots for various things such as dental work, etc. I have not had anybody approach me about a trade until last night. My Daughter's ballet teacher's father is a studio potter and offered me the option of trading pots for private ballet lessons. I love the idea of doing this and since he grew up in a household that made pots, he understands the value of the trade. What have been some of your most interesting experiences with trading pots for services or other items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJR Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 This made me laugh! I had to get my roof replaced or insurance wouldn't cover me. The owner of the roofing business came into my studio and drooled. We traded $670.00 worth of pottery for part of the roof. I still owe $500.00 for the front porch. Can we say "dinner set?" TJR.

Mug Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have horse traded a lot through the years making it hard to pick just one thing. My most prized possessions are from trading with other artist that have a mutual respect and love for anothers artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Eberhardt Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I've donated a few pieces of my work, but haven't traded them for anything.....yet. Now, the eggs from my marvelous girls is an entirely different matter. Those eggs have opened more doors for me than you could shake a big stick at!

aperhapshand Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I trade consistently for clinical massage and acupuncture - I would not justify such an expensive once a month treatment without being able to trade - and it keeps me in better shape to keep working. Our usual trade is dinnerware (about $60 in pottery retail price for each treatment)- but there are a few requests like a shallow long planter I am working on right now.
