This guide is for hand-thrown pottery makers in Napa, California — studio note 675. Practical Doshe.Store advice for makers who want to take custom orders with clear timelines.
You do not need a business degree to sell hand-thrown pottery online. You need consistent photos, honest timelines, and a storefront that fits how you already work in Napa. Many makers use Doshe to take custom orders with clear timelines before they ever rent market booth space.
First listings
Choose five to eight hand-thrown pottery items you would proudly show at a studio visit. Write each title the way a friend would search: material, use, and size. 'Stoneware mug, 12 oz, matte white' beats clever puns that hide the product.
Policies that match your bench
Shipping from Napa: pack hand-thrown pottery like you would for a friend across the state—double-box fragile work, include a thank-you note if that is your style. Buyers remember packaging as much as the piece.
