pricing is difficult. I have had some people say I need to charge more but I am In an area where many can’t afford to spend much and I want them To have pieces so I keep My prices low and many people comment that my pricing is affordable and they appreciate it and many come by and check things out every market. I don’t think sharing the money thing is a problem except that people need to realize there is a lot of geographical cost of living data that affects pricing in different areas. I think if you have lived in your area for a period of time you have a feel For what people are willing to spend for non necessity items. Hearing what other people charge for things doesn’t really influence my pricing. I like to hear what items sell well for others and compare to what sells well for me. I am Learning big items are not good sellers in my area. Large bowls, platters etc just don’t move for me.

Road trips are so fun and you are adding more fun along the way which is awesome. I am 2 1/2 hours from KC so maybe on your next trip, I can come say hi.

I bought a skutt 1018 but now wish I had went to the 1022 so had more height for tall pieces. I think that plus a smaller one for when you need to do decals or have something you need to get thru quickly would be the way I would go if I was to do it again.

I want to control my firings so I purchased a kiln. When I snowbird in AZ I am using a studio kiln with no control and I don’t like it. Usually end up refiring many pieces when I get home.

thank you Suza and thanks for watching.
