Check out Bailey’s full article in the June/July/August 2015 issue of Ceramics Monthly ! ceramicartsdaily.org/ ceramics-monthly/ Starting out as an independent potter, doing craft shows was the only way I marketed and sold my work, and, at the time, social media marketing didn’t seem necessary. It was all about exploring ideas and surviving off making work. I eventually realized that this was not the most sustainable model for me personally. It was at this point that Jessie, an amazing glassworker and designer, proposed a shift. She had become interested in slip-cast ceramics, and at the same time I was given the opportunity to assist a slip-casting workshop at Penland School of Crafts. We had the space and tools and, after receiving a grant through a local foundation, we had the funds necessary to pursue a joint venture, now called Bean and Bailey Ceramics. www.ceramicsmonthly.org june/july/august 2015
