This is actually a really good idea that I may follow up on. Also, you might
think about posting some items on the auction sites - I've noticed a couple
of potters making a decent wage just from ebay & yahoo. I LOVE selling my
pieces on ebay - it's pretty cheap, and I don't even have to talk to anyone
on the phone! Selling in my pj's! It doesn't get better than that. You might
check out:

www.ebay.com (depending on what you put up & how, $1-$25 to post, + % of
final total)

www.potteryauction.com (free to post, no % taken)

www.auctions.yahoo.com (free to post, not sure about %)

I've used Yahoo (not for pottery ) and rate it right up there with EBAY.
Another good auction is at www.amazon.com, of course, then I nearly always
spend my money on books!
