If you think my prices are low, and feel my time and talent are worth more, this product is for you! You don't get anything for this $5 other than satisfaction knowing that you made a hard working artist and teacher really happy!
The up front cost of being a ceramic artist is huge. My kiln alone cost over $5,000. Not to mention clay, glazes and tools. In three years I have made about $1,000 on sales. I make things out of clay because I love it. Getting some money to pay for doing what I love would be a nice bonus.
