CommunityClayMakers.com

About a week in on our new site and have made two sales. Happy about that (full disclosure they were friends and family but hey they were sales!)
Finding it hard to describe everything succinctly but going to make a visit to ChatGPT to see if it can help!

First site sale under our belts. Now for sale 2! There are some beautiful ceramic wares on our site. All from makers working if of community studios. 10% discount when you sign up at the site communityclaymakers.com

Our site is live! Lots of great pots from community clay makers. Support their work with a purchase! - communityclaymakers.com

Handmade pottery- white plattes with wavy rim

Picked up some great pots from another potter today. Plan to have a soft launch by Monday! So great to see hand built/hand thrown work coming forward from these makers working in community studios. Will share more soon!

Computer screen showing Shopify product listing page for a new pottery item in the CommunityClayMakers.com site that is launching soon.

Finishing up getting products into Shopify for the site. Still need to shoot photos of the last potter’s work. She chose our “Studio Select” option where we do all the selling work - photos, posting, shipping, advertising - all for a 40% commission. Launching soon!

Community potters want to sell their wares. Sometimes they’re unsure because they tend not to produce in volume. But we think they should still be able to sell their stuff. So we’re putting together a site that welcomes them whether they have 2, 20 or 200 pots!

2/2 Even though experienced community potters can’t give away any more pots to friends- “oh thanks, but no thanks I just don’t have any more room!” And their own closets are full - they generally don’t want to do any of the selling and shipping work required of online sales!

1/2 Originally thought I’d build a marketplace for weekend potters like me who wouldn’t want the responsibility of maintaining their own site or Etsy store but would still like to sell their work- “if it’s good enough.” Keep it lo-fi…I’d host the site and do some social…but…

First post for this new biz. Figured I’d try the build along with me tact. Getting ready to launch a site specifically made for potters working, teaching, firing in, or supporting community clay studios to sell their stuff and support other potters and studios. Come with me!
