As a baby potter, there are so many things I need to figure out. The business E-Book helped me with figuring out things I needed to know to start my pottery journey!
I have started on the first few chapters of the ebook and I am very pleased with my purchase so far. The writing style makes it very personable and easy to read. It feels like taking advise from a close and kind friend :) It makes me think starting my little business may be daunting but definitely doable!
So straightforward, simple and helpful. This book made me feel so much less overwhelmed by the prospect of starting a pottery business. It also does a great job of laying out a range of possibilities…from tiny little market business to full retail. Great resources for ways to improve your marketing and social media presence.
A book full of hands on tips how to improve ceramic business. It is written in an easy and informative way. I got plenty of ideas for improving my own production and marketing for better results. I strongly recommend the book!
As a hobby potter , this e-book was a real inspiration!! 100% recommended for anyone with an interest in pottery & may well inspire you to take your hobby further . Thanks 🤩 🙏
The e-book really helps me to get my pottery business started!. Clearly written, good devision of topics and great insights to professionalise your passion!
I'll have my first market soon and the guide helped me to go there preperared and with a lot more confidence :)
A fabulous e-book, well written with a ton of information and great tips. It’s a must read if you’re just starting out selling your ceramics or indeed like me need a refresher course. I highly recommend it.
To begin with, it's amazing to be able to read about your path from a hobby to the business that you have built. Especially because I started much like you - in a course and then self taught in many aspects. In my 20 years of dealing with ceramics, this way or the other, I have never stumbled upon anyone sharing the secrets of the trade so bluntly and unselfishly. So, a big, big thank you for that! Although I was aware of some of the things you wrote about, I haven't had them so neatly organised in my head, nor had I had them figured out so thoroughly. Starting to see a picture now, which is amazing.
The chapters are divided in a clear and logical manner, they cover the basics that are applicable in most countries and regions and it's easy to adjust everything you write about to local legislation. The parts of the e-book that have nothing to do with laws and taxing were easy to adjust and apply to my own way of thinking and functioning. I still haven't finished reading it all the way through, but I read enough to know I loved it! I am highlighting, going back to some parts that I find especially interesting and valuable... it is my morning read with fruit and coffee! I am seriously thinking about making the leap into the unknown and give it a go with a small business, for now alongside my nine-to-five (I am a lawyer), but hopefully I shall be able to keep creating and make it all a bit more focused and meaningful.
I wish you all the best and many, many shop updates to come!
🙏
Lots of good solid advice, it's useful because like the market checklist it is pre-organized in a useable condensed way - I'm using it as a sort of review/reminder of where to focus my energy when I get overwhelmed by task minutia!
Very inspiring and helpful for anyone like me who wants to start a pottery business. I really liked how honest and practical it feels. It gave me a lot of motivation to stop overthinking and just start. You can tell Abel truly understands the struggles of beginners and shares his real experience instead of generic advices. Definitely recommend it!
Great resource for anyone trying to make their pottery a business! I’m been doing pottery for a few years and am now trying to be more serious. This is an excellent resource for anyone needing some more step by step guides. Thank you!
Really useful
The seemingly endless list of tasks to consider when setting up a new small business is enough to cause total overwhelm or even put you off doing it altogether. Breaking it down into small, manageable steps is the only way to push forward and that’s where the ‘Turn Your Passion for Pottery into a Thriving Business’ E-book comes in. It’s written in a friendly way which feels like it supports you on your journey. It helps you to formulate a step-by-step plan and takes the mystery and uncertainty away. It’s a practical guide and also a very honest one, based on the writers’ personal experience of building his own successful ceramics business.
I enjoy dipping in and out if it, when I’m ready to tackle further steps.
The cost of the book was very reasonable and I feel that I have jumped a significant number of steps ahead of where I would have been without it.
Een overzichtelijke handleiding voor iedereen die meer wil weten over het ondernemerschap achter keramiek. Veel facetten komen voorbij. Van prijsstelling tot marketing, van praktische zaken tot administratie.
Wat ik waardevol vind? Er wordt niks achtergehouden. Je krijgt concrete tips die je direct kunt toepassen. De investering is klein, maar de kennis die je opdoet is groot.
Great insights to starting a new business , very useful information & a a really good read.
I initially hesitated to order this PDF because I was afraid it would be just another one I'd open once and never use again. But the 100-page PDF certainly doesn't disappoint. Very informative, practical, and clear. A good beginner's guide. The most important tip is: just start.
Well written and direct, hich is easily understood by a beginner. I have been selling pottery for 35+ years and was still able to take away several marketing ideas. Keep up the good work!

I wish I had this when I started my business two years ago. I’m super happy I have it now. Working alone, never asking for help, terrified of failing and probably holding back because of it?!…not alone! This will help your impostersyndrome, give guidance and call you out on the bad thoughts that’s keeping you from your own Success!
I'm only on module 5, but I'm loving this! I'm in the US, but the advice is the same and this ebook is encouraging me to get started on my own business. Great advice and very helpful.
This book is really efficient to help someone who does not not how to begin. It is extremely well structured, efficient and practical. You will also find adresses and recommandations, that will help you to save a lot of time. Thank you so much Abel for Sharing your experiences. I recommend this book 100%!
I gave myself this book as a New Year's resolution. I still have to read it all, but it's really clear, understandable, and honest. I can't wait to put some of the advice into practice and give myself permission to grow. Thank you, Abel, for sharing your experiences and sharing them!
Goed geschreven en heel veel bruikbare informatie!
Estoy comenzando mi tienda, y hay mucha información que no cuentan. Sobre todo aquí en España
This is a great guide for anyone looking for that little push to take your ceramic hustle to a business. Full of great actionable information that can help you move forward.
I recently started as a full-time potter and thought it would be a good idea to get my thoughts organized. Abel's guide does much more than that. Beautifully and captivatingly written, it covers all topics one should be aware of when beginning this adventure. Through -what I experienced as- a friendly conversation with the author, Abel takes you through each topic, making you reflect upon the various aspects of starting a pottery business. I can only recommend you add this to your must-read list! Great work!
This ebook is very informative and easy to read. It includes so much of what you'll need to know about starting a ceramics business without having to figure it all out on your own. It has also been updated a couple of times since I purchased which is great and you can easily go back and re-read anything easily thanks to the clear modules.
I would recommend this ebook to anyone that is wanting to turn pottery into a business and is looking for some guidance.
This book is so helpful if you want to start your craft business. Everything is detailed for each aspect of the business with personal anecdotes that enrich the book.I’m glad I bought it and it will be my reference guide to follow, Abel and Daisy wrote a great book that beginners craftsmen shouldn’t miss!
I bought this and I’m thrilled with it! The best thing for me was the confidence you instil within the reader/potter to just take small steps and give it a go. I’m going through the modules now and I’m ticking things off that I have only dreamed of doing.
So a warm hearted thank you.
