I think I have to be willing to travel more, which maybe I will once I have more of a collection and feel more confident about my work. I think ceramics are more popular in some of the cities here, like Cambridge. I dunno, I read quite a few blogs written by successful potters, and they seem to be from all over the US.

Other than jewelry they are the most popular item. Perhaps it is the circles you are currently selling in. Or it could also be that pottery is big in the circle I run (the Midwest) but may not be so in the rest of the country. Hmmm. Ceramics are big here. Other than jewelry they are the most popular item.

I see you point because I feel the same way about ceramics in our area. I was really disappointed that our art fellowship (of which I am a member) did an exhibition this month for 2D only. As a member I expect the same opportunities as other artists. So far, most of the exhibitions I have been to have only had one ceramic artist, with the exception of last June, where there were 3 including myself (for the first time). I think it's nice to have a bit of variety. The only advantage I see is that if there are less potters then viewers perhaps are more likely to buy your stuff, but on the other hand, there are probably less people coming for pottery if they expect to see paintings. I expect the same is true if you are a painter at an event like the one you have just been to. I get the impression that pottery is more sought after in the US than the UK? Or maybe I'm just not moving in the right circles yet! Thanks for the round up Mona :) Wow, that really wasn’t many painters. I see you point because I feel the same way about ceramics in our area.
