Five Dollar Tip

At the farmers market recently a young girl, about twenty, spent $15 on my pottery and handed me a $20 bill. When I handed her a $5 change, she said "No you keep it, your pottery is well worth it".  I've never gotten a tip for my pottery before. Nice to know my labor is appreciated..

  4. Hi Rian, thanks, it's one of my best selling glazes, I love how it breaks to brown and sometimes gets those blue spots inside.
