shawnhar Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Well, I am officially a potter now, sort of. Still a long way to go but the foundation is there. We have a retail store that has done well and I finally left my corporate job to pursue pottery further (and our store). We have a shelf in the store to sell my wares and it does around 1k a month, I know it's not much but that is passive, it just sits there. looking forward to this next chapter in our lives! My sponge holders have come a long way! Roberta12, kswan, Piedmont Pottery and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenepots Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Congratulations! How wonderful that you have a built-in retail shelf to display and sell your wares. It's so satisfying to be able to do for a living what you love. Keep up the good work and enjoy! shawnhar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Way to go! Isn't it great to be in total control, doing what you want to do? What kind of retail store is it and why only one shelf? shawnhar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhar Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Yes Johnny, it's great and also a little scary. It's a gift shop with a little bit of everything. - When I said :a shelf", what I really meant was a shelving "unit" with 5 shelves, 8ft wide by 12in deep. Plenty of room for now.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 A grand a month is a good beginning. It’ll increase during the holidays too. shawnhar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
