Ceramic Arts Daily

Focus: Gallery Guide

Find a partner, or find inspiration through all the great work ceramics galleries are representing. Making significant work does not require a successful business plan­—but the chances of enough people seeing your work to recognize it as significant are greatly improved if you have one. The most successful plans often involve outlets beyond the studio—like galleries, websites, and stores (ideally all of the above), so you can focus on making work. Yes, these are business agreements, but they are usually more successful if approached as a partnership—a team, if you will, where everyone is invested in the process and works toward collective success.
