#172 - Shooting the sh** and sharing a booth space


Listen Later

Ryan and Becca are way off topic for today's episode talking about some new happenings for them both before getting to business. A couple listener questions are answered about handbuilding & asking fellow artists their sales at a show before getting to the topic of the day where we think about how we are going to share a booth space at the upcoming Cincinnati Coffee Festival.

Listener Questions
On this episode:
- So I have a question or two I just wanted to throw your direction and to see if you guys have episodes that discuss this, or know of other artists that may specialize in extrusion pieces. We just got a new extruder at my college studio and I was curious if you guys had any extruder die ideas or maybe shapes that you found useful or interesting to play with? @the_untortured_artist
- I love the transparency of you both sharing what your sales are after a show. My price range is from $4 to $65. I have a lot of lower priced items for sale. My average sale per person at my most recent show was $28. I have been scoffed at by other potters at art shows for offering lower priced items. At my most recent show I was one sale away from having $6,000 in sales. It was a 2 day show. I really would like to know how my sales compared to other potters at the show who offer only higher priced items. My question is have you asked other potters at a show how much their sales were? If so how do you go about it? Keep in mind that these are juried art shows and a lot of them act like they think their #%*! don't stink. @TheWateringCanPottery
