Wow, you can do set design/construction, too? Working in film/theatre is a whole new ball game - you're not just following your own creative process any more. The creation of sets just fascinates me, even though all I know about it comes from "the making of" and "behind the scenes" documentaries.

How often do you lose pots during firing?

10-30 minutes each.

big ones don't go for les than $100, BIG ones can go for as much as $400.

A little math... Assume you work 8 hours a day... assume 30 minutes/$400... 40 hours a week... 52 weeks a year...

[mind boggles]That's $1,664,000 per year![/mind boggles]

And he'd have us believe he's just a simple country man barely making his way in the world... No wonder he can afford to give a few gamers some discounts.


ok, I know my math is screwy and those numbers don't really work, but it was still fun to figure out.

Make Money Fast, eh?

Oh yeah, if you could just throw pots all day, and sell every single unfired pot for the price of a finished one, you could make LOTS of money. Think you might be onto something here!

The key word is "if", of course...

indeed. i carry bags of materials, stack wood, move bricks and cut wood for about 3-4 hours for every hour i spend throwing pots.

i am lucky to throw 2 days a week, and usually 2-3 hours then.

but the math is temppting!
