AVPottery Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looking for bread and butter ideas to fill the small spaces in the kiln. My mentor recommended making toothpick holders or small cream pitchers for the small extra spaces in the kiln. Wondering what some other bread and butter items would be worth making that people like to buy. Thanks for any feedback, -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celia UK Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ring dishes. Don't need the heart shaped hole - these are wedding favours that will have a name tag! Thin slab, cookie cutter, something to add textured feature. Or roll out slab on a texture. Easy peasy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakukuku Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I make lots of little pinch pot animals - birds, turtles, dogs whatever. they always make it into the big kiln filings because they are perfect filler in between bowls and other stuff. rakuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Disks that one day you may make up into wind chimes........Beads, buttons, discs to put into sugar, rice etc storage to mop up moisture. I'd give spoon rests a miss as I think that line may be covered globally, however I may be rwrong and you could make a thousand or two. Coasters for those people who dribble on...

Joseph Fireborn Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 whatever you can make the quickest and get the most profit for is what I would make. I plan on doing shot glasses(off the hump) once i get around to doing production firings endlessly, since that is a market with people who obviously have expendable income. gulp gulp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVPottery Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Well, maybe not politically correct, but I find that pipes are small and fit well into spaces between larger items.
