I had worked really hard on those mugs.
I finally got the online store figured out.
I put myself out there and posted about my work.
I GOT THE SALE!
and then...
​
They wanted a refund.
Ouch!
​
Like a breakup or a last date: you looked promising at first but upon closer inspection... nah. Not a pleasant experience.
​
Your pots need to look like the pictures on your website.
​
That's the bottom line. Even if they don't like it, at least they know what they are getting. Having good product photos is part of the solution.
​
Repeat throwing consistent shapes is the other part - the harder part.
​
I started making profile ribs because I was tired of throwing away 10, 20, 30% of my large-order batches. I am my own worst critic, and if something was a little bit off, it went back in the scrap bucket while I went back to the wheel.
​
Profile Ribs help me to nail the my forms, and I'm happy that it's helping other do the same! I hope the consistency you get in repeat throwing with these tools will give you confidence to take on large orders for local venders and online e-commerce.
