Evening Grain

Hi, I’m new here.

<– Josh

Let’s jump right in! I’d like to create an online ceramic arts shop and I’d love for you to join me on this journey. The idea behind this first post is to set a plan, no matter how wrong it is. Let’s just take that all important first step.

Here is the very rough plan:

1. Start with this blog post…. check… (I’m already killin’ it)
2. Create Art / Build an inventory
   • What do I want to sell? What does the world need? How can I set myself apart?
   • The Clay
   • Build molds
   • The Kiln
   • The Bisque Firing
   • The Firing schedule
   • What glazes I choose
   • The Glaze Firing
3. Build a Marketing Campaign
   • Build a Photo booth
   • Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest?
4. Create a website
5. Sell, Sell, Sell!
   • Price?
6. Shipping
   • Techniques
     • Double box / Single box?
   • Materials
     • Bubble wrap
     • Boxes
7. Rinse / Repeat
   • What worked, what didn’t
   • What I need to change

What? Did I just hear you say, this is a bit boring and you want a sneak preview?

Okay, but only after you cleaned your sponges and mopped your work area.
