So that say I get in 20 glaze firings a year, I worked out how much we needed to live, including overheads, food petrol etc and from that how much each kiln needed to make. Then it came to pricing the pots to make that up and it is terrifying! What I'm (we all are) prone to doing is pricing things down,'I CAN"T charge THAT, there is a blip on the rim' etc, so I now try to charge the best ones up - 'This pot is special, it has that elusive zing'. Of course in our self critical world the ones (£) going down way number the ones(£) going up, but that is the general idea....Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941407276963445940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-23080698098693359482010-07-19T12:51:01.628+01:002010-07-19T12:51:01.628+01:00Me Too!Me Too!Paul Jessophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049186132665105757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-13088561421538493332010-07-19T01:17:39.514+01:002010-07-19T01:17:39.514+01:00I love this blog because you always seem to be at ...I love this blog because you always seem to be at least one step ahead of me.
