How to Display Ceramics for Fairs and Exhibitions

Panel Q&A with Richard Heeley, Juliet McLeod and Jo Davies

1 October at 18:30 GMT

Working out your display for a fair, exhibition or show of any kind is not easy.

It can mean the difference between doing well and being overlooked by prospective buyers. You want your display to be a reflection of your values as a maker/potter/artist but you’re not sure where to start or,

if you’re more established, you may want to resolve some niggling issues you have with display of your work or want to make a radical change to your approach, but are not sure where to focus. Well - Start here.

The panel will be answering your questions on this topic to help you to think through these problems and come up with your own unique solutions.

Working with Clients to Commission

Panel Q&A with Chris Keenan, Sophie Cook and Jo Davies

28 October at 18:30 GMT

Working with clients to produce new work is something more and more ceramics practitioners and potters are being asked to do. Whether this is for companies or private individuals, there is a lot to consider.

You might be at the beginning of your career or more established but you still feel there are questions about how to deal with clients, how and when to ask for money, what processes are involved and you may even feel there is a set ‘formula’ on how to manage these interactions that you’re afraid to get ‘wrong’.

This panel will be answering your questions on this topic to help you to be more confident in this area and provide tips about how to go about it using their own extensive experience of this process.

This is a rare chance to benefit from the perspectives of 3 professional ceramicists, all of whom have taken many commissions between them but all have slightly different approaches to this area of their practice.

Pricing for Ceramic Art

Panel Q&A with Carolyn Tripp, Jo Davies and Claire Pearce, curator of Thrown Contemporary

9 December at 18:30pm

Pricing is one of the most tricky subjects. Covering our materials and energy costs is the baseline but how do we value our time?

During this panel Q&A made up of 2 makers (Carolyn Tripp and Jo Davies) and one gallerist (Claire Pearce) we will endeavour to answer you questions around this subject to help you work out how to begin pricing your work, or even how to re-evaluate you pricing. Is there a formula or is it really all just vibes?

Lets try and work this out together. Purchase this session and then send us your question to answer (not obligatory but we strongly encourage you to do so!)
