It can be a daunting task trying to understand the big picture and the intricacies of running a successful and thriving ceramics studio. Let me help you take the guess work out of it by lending you my experience and by providing solutions to all the issues that can plague a pottery studio and prevent it from reaching its potential. Listed below you'll see just a few of the questions that I've worked through. I have come across any problem that will come your way and can save you years of hassle and headache. In each situation I've learned great solutions and I'm delighted to share those with you. During your consultation we'll cover these and all other relevant concerns.
