In this area of Florida it's tough to find a gallery which is a good fit for pottery. Most of my work has been in gallery settings which primarily feature paintings or in locations without a lot of traffic. My goal for this Fall is to find other avenues to sell my work. One place my work is selling like hot cakes is
The Garden Shed on Rock Crusher Road nearby in Homosassa. Louise carries artisan made products of local artists and she does a wonderful job of displaying and selling my work. Even though her shop is in an out of the way location she advertises and has events and classes to draw customers to her store. Thanks Louise.
I pulled my work out of the Florida Artists Gallery in Floral City and I'm listing a few pieces I had there in my
Etsy shop until I can find other locations to show and sell my work So look for new pieces on Etsy. The gold filled vase above did sell recently but neither the multi leaf serving bowl in the first photo sold nor did the sea urchin adorned vase below.

Michele Hastings mentioned
Big Cartel. I looked at this e-commerce site a few years ago when Kristen Kieffer mentioned it on her blog but didn't feel I could produce work to keep the shop filled adequately at the time. I had just relocated across the country, switched to a new kiln, and was trying new clays and firing temperatures. However, now I think Big Cartel might be a good venue to sell some of my more sculptural work. Stay tuned for more on the topic of sales venues. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
