| How limited will editions be? I honestly don't know yet, I'm aiming for edition sizes between 25-50 pieces. This may vary, depending on the difficulty of any given mold or color. For such items as ornaments or other ware, I may simply use a set ordering period, rather than a specific edition size. No decisions there yet.
How do I plan to distribute editions? By lottery for the majority of the horses. I may elect to withhold 5-10 pieces from each edition and distribute them in other ways, such as an eBay auction, sealed-bid auction or perhaps even the random appearance of a sale horse somewhere on this site. This should give folks who are unlucky in lotteries a chance as well.
Is the mailing list closed or open? Open... completely open. I do not plan to do physical mailings. I have a Yahoo email group for the announcement of new wares, site updates and all other news.
Will bisque pieces be for sale? Since I'll be running a small test kiln and firing space will be very limited, I'm not currently planning to make bisque pieces available for sale. Trades for bisques I'd like to glaze or OF pieces I'd like for my collection may be possible.
Do you take orders for glazing bisques? Rein in that runaway pony! At present, I'm not planning to take in bisques for glazing. I don't feel right about practicing and making newbie mistakes on your bisques. Once I have plenty of work under my belt.. I may possibly consider it. Or may not.
What kinds of payment will you take? Once the pottery is open for business, personal checks, money orders and credit cards through PayPal will be fine. After I'm up and running, I may look into getting a full merchant account. For more expensive items, there will be payment plans available.
Other questions? Always feel free to ask!
