Hello All,

I have been a lurker on this list off an on for a
couple of years, and right now I am currently teaching
Art full-time and making pots part-time.

I just rented a small studio downtown so that I can
start to transition to switch that to making pots full
time and teaching part-time, but I live in a small
town in Arkansas and I can't seem to find anyone to
talk to about the mechanics of being a full-time
artist. Most of my artist friends teach or have some
other full time job. I've read a few books about
marketing art and art as a business. But what I really
is more specific information - how many pots should I
take to a craft fair? How do you approach a shop for
wholesale purchases and what are the terms?

I think that what I really need is a mentor - I would
be willing to trade pottery and supplies for your time
and even pay a small fee for some help/motivation to
help me along this path.

To see my work to see if you might be interested in
helping me, you can go to my website at

Thanks!

Chris Massingill
