The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes
106. Working with local businesses: “That’s not the skill tree I chose…”
Lindsey and Donte chat about their experiences working with local businesses as another way to get their work out there. From pros and cons to best practices, these mud peddlers hope their stories will help you decide whether and how to tap into this part of your local creative economy.
Have you ever sold your work through a local business? What’s some advice you might share with someone thinking about doing the same?
Let us know in the comments (for those of you listening via Youtube) or send us a message on the socials!
