Turn Your Passion for Pottery into a Thriving Business

Turn Your Passion for Pottery into a Thriving Business

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Pottery Business

When I first started with clay, I had no clue how to turn it into a real business. I was juggling two jobs, raising two small kids, and figuring everything out by trial and error. I made plenty of mistakes — which is exactly why I wrote this eBook.

To help you skip the confusion and get clear, honest advice from someone who’s been in your shoes.

If you love making ceramics — throwing, sculpting, hand-building, or casting — but feel lost when it comes to selling your work, this guide is for you.

  • How do you price your pieces?
  • Where do you find customers who truly value handmade ceramics?
  • How do you build something sustainable without burning out?

I get it. I’ve asked myself all those same questions.

That’s why I created From Hobby to Business — a practical, personal roadmap for turning your passion into a pottery brand you’re proud of.

No matter your style or technique, this guide gives you the tools, structure, and support to take real steps forward — without guessing your way through.

Thoughtful Guide for Starting a Ceramics Business!

The book is thoughtfully put together by someone who has obviously been through the process of starting their own ceramics business. I found it very helpful and encouraging as someone who is still in the dreaming stages of starting my own ceramics business. I also really appreciate that the writer included information tailored to individuals living outside of Holland. Thank you!
