Early Access - Making My Own Plates

Published: February 17th 2022, 4:58:22 pm

• Once I have at least 6 dinner plates and 6 salad plates, I'll move on to shot glasses or something else. For now, I still can't shake my desire for handmade plates.
• I love the blue glaze I showed in the cracked plate, but I know I shouldn't make as many of those since they won't look great on camera.
• My newest clay is "buff" colored, so it will look like the one I showed at the end, but a light tan instead of darker terra cotta brown.
• After all this effort, people only want me to make them dog bowls. I made two slow-feeder dog bowls and they look awesome. They slow Darla down while she eats and they are nice and heavy. Someone else is selling hers for $90.
• I would love to get good enough that I could offer ceramics as my merch, but that's a long ways away. I'd have to charge like $500 per piece at this slow beginner's pace.
