This guide is for hand-thrown pottery makers in Berkeley, California — studio note 449. Practical Doshe.Store advice for makers who want to price your labor and materials fairly.
Pricing hand-thrown pottery makes every Berkeley maker uncomfortable at first. Material cost is visible; hours at the bench are easy to undercount. A fair price covers clay and glazes, wear on tools, failed pieces, and the skill you built over years.
What buyers pay for
Bundle shipping into the item or show it separately; either works on Doshe if you are consistent. Surprise fees at checkout lose trust faster than an honest sticker price.
Raising prices without losing fans
Announce modest increases to repeat buyers in your shop updates. Loyal Berkeley customers often follow makers because they want them to stay in business.
