The next quarter

After a holiday in South West Wales and now that Autumn is in full swing here in Cumbria, I had some time to think about how to take my small business forward.

Instagram is pretty much a no-go at the moment, especially as I’m not going to spend hours making videos and reels. Pottery takes long enough as it is without editing clips. I will still post photos on stories and get back to the grid but my website is the place to focus on now. Blogging (and not always just about pottery) plus I’m working on having an online shop open, which will always have stock in it. This idea suits me more than making 100s of piece and trying to sell them all at once. I’m saving that pleasure for pottery fairs.

I will explore the possibility of writing a monthly newsletter. Pottery West (a brilliant pottery studio based in Sheffield) send out the best newsletters about life in a pottery - such an inspiration. Quite a lot of to think and write about over the next few months.
