| #263 - Cohesion vs. creativity in your pottery | 10 Aug 2024 | 01:48:39 | |
Ryan & Becca tackle a listener question today about the importance of having a cohesive style in pottery. Two Sisters Pottery includes a sibling duo creating work in varying styles today. We discuss the balance between creative freedom and branding, offering insights on how diverse styles can coexist within a single pottery business. Thanks for listening! - I’m wanting to know your opinion on having a cohesive look throughout your work. I’ve been doing pottery for over 3 years now and still in love with all the techniques that are possible. Maybe there is more cohesiveness than I think but how important is that for a business do you think? This is my sister and my page as she also does pottery. Her style is much more whimsical and there’s also not many of her works as she doesn’t do this nearly as much as I do. Thanks for answering!

Lastly, make sure you're thinking about how these commitments fit into the medium to long term goals of your business as well, whether it's selling via wholesale, shows, consignment, online, commissions, or otherwise.

Ryan and Becca look ahead to their personal and business goals for 2022, even though we're more than a month into the year already. They share specific sales numbers for the year ahead as well. We hope you're setting your own goals, prioritizing what's most important to you, and incorporating clay into your plans somehow. Enjoy and here's to a great year!
