Well, today has been spent setting up a shop on Etsy. With the Christmas fairs looking as though they are all going to be cancelled, we have to find some way of selling our pots and going on-line seems to be a way of doing it.
It has taken us a long time to do this, even though the Etsy help site is really good. It's just that it's time consuming. We had to decide what to put up there - Etsy recommends starting with ten items. We have a huge range of pots from novelty gift items to one off expensive studio ceramics. What to put on???
We decided that to start off we would just put on ten pots from our "mousie" range under the Fangfoss Pottery name. Then at another time we could set up an Etsy shop in Gerry's name.
Then you have to take lots of pictures (up to 10) of different aspects of your pot that you want to sell, write a description of each one and basically go through the online prompts. I won't put them all up here because there are loads. Needless to say, I haven't finished yet, but you can save your project to continue working on it at another time.
These are the photos I put up to sell our oil drizzler......
