How to Start a Pottery Business – A Guide for Ceramic Artists.

How to start a pottery business — that’s the question I asked myself when I first fell in love with clay. I had no idea where to begin or how to turn my passion into something real. I was working two jobs, raising two little kids, and trying to figure everything out as I went. I made so many mistakes — and that’s exactly why I wrote this eBook.

To help you skip the guesswork and get clear, honest advice from someone who’s been there.

If you love working with clay — wheel-throwing, hand-building, sculpting, or slip-casting — but feel unsure about how to actually sell your work or start your own ceramics business from home studio...

This is for you.

• How do you price your pieces?
• Where do you find customers who truly value handmade ceramics?
• How do you turn your pottery hobby into a business that feels authentic?

I get it — I’ve been there too.

That’s why I created From Hobby to Business: a clear, step-by-step guide for ceramic artists of all kinds who want to learn how to start a pottery business the right way.

Whether you work on the wheel or mix techniques, this easy-to-follow eBook gives you the tools, strategies, and real-life advice to grow a thriving ceramics brand.

🫶 This isn’t a dry business manual. It’s the roadmap I wish I had when I started — based on my own journey building IKKAI Ceramics from my kitchen table into a full-time pottery business.

This edition has been completely updated with three new chapters — Photography, Wholesale & Pricing for Shops, and Extra Income Ideas — plus added information on Shipping to the USA (including the latest 2025 customs updates).

The new layout makes it easier to read, more practical to follow, and better structured from start to finish.

I regularly update this eBook with new insights and examples from my own journey. Once purchased, you’ll receive all future updates automatically — for free, for life.
