Drawing from my experience selling at a wide range of events over the past 7 years, I share practical advice to help you stay focused on the essentials as you begin selling your work in person.
​
This workshop is a great fit for makers who are preparing for their first few shows or want a clearer roadmap before applying and investing in events.

"Smart Systems for Ceramic Success"
from The Ceramic School Clay Camp: Create and Thrive
In this workshop, I share how I use systems and analytics to help create a more sustainable and profitable ceramics business.

Whether you sell at shows, through wholesale, online, or via commissions, tracking the right data can help you make better decisions. In this session, I walk through how understanding what sells best, where your income is coming from, and how to set realistic goals can help you build a business that works for you.
​
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to track, organize, and analyze your ceramics business so you can make more informed decisions and support long-term growth.

Pottery Classes/Workshops

Soda Firing Workshop
I'll be hosting future Soda Firing Workshops at my home studio in Northern KY soon. I want to give folks access to the soda firing process who may not have experienced it before while building connections with fellow ceramic artists.

Attendees will bring 6-8 bisque pots that can fire to cone 5-7 and multiple studio glazes/slips will be provided or you can bring your own. Attendees are expected to participate in the full 2.5 day experience of glazing/wadding, loading, firing, unloading, and tidying up the kiln area/studio for the next firing. Some meals will be provided.

Next workshop dates in 2026:
June 12-14
​July 17-19 (SOLD OUT)
Throwing Oil Bottles (On-Demand Workshop)
Oil bottles are one of my favorite forms to throw because they follow a few general guidelines, but no two ever come out exactly the same. They’re a great example of a form that feels functional, rewarding, and full of personality.

In this on-demand workshop, I walk through how I approach throwing oil bottles for olive oil, vinegar, dressings, or even dish soap. I also cover many of the common issues I’ve run into after making hundreds, and probably thousands, of them over the years.

You’ll learn about:
  • Shapes and proportions that tend to work best
  • How to properly fit a pourer spout
  • Common causes of leaking and how to avoid them
  • Collaring techniques
  • General throwing tips for making them more efficiently
This workshop is a great fit for potters who want to build more confidence with bottle forms and create a functional product that customers love.

Yarn Bowls That Work - and Sell! (On-Demand Workshop)
In this on-demand workshop, I share the most common challenges I’ve run into while making yarn bowls and the solutions I’ve developed over time.

I walk through how I throw and carve my current versions, along with tips for reducing warping, safely softening and finishing the cut areas, drying and firing strategies, and the range of sizes that have worked best for my customers.

If you’ve struggled with yarn bowls or are thinking about adding them to your lineup, this workshop is designed to help you improve your process, avoid common pitfalls, and create a form that functions well and sells consistently.
