Didn't some politician create a bit of a furor with that recently?????

How about a sign that says "Made Right Here in NNNN"?

Isn't buying local buying American? How about "Buying local pottery is
buying American"?

Hi Logan,

Years ago our city (Bainbridge Island) did a concerted effort to promote
local.
They had signs all over the island. It was a generic sign without any names
of stores, artists etc.
As far as I can tell it was quite successful and I saw my sales increase.
I'm thinking you could get together with some other participants or better
yet do a series of signs. I favor ones like the Burma-Shave signs I saw
across the country as a child and we drove from Pennsylvania to California.

So here's an idea but is 3 signs.

Come to (insert name) street fair

Logan Johnson Pottery will be there

Audeo Studios - (Date or booth number)

I think that would be a hoot for those of us who remember those signs, gets
your name & show info out there and can't possibly offend anyone!

How about a second sign that promotes you more directly?

"Locally Made Pottery for Sale"
Is what I would put up. It says it all, no politics, no BS, totally honest!

Or...

Locally made Pots made by Local Potters!" - is what I would have.

That'd grab me if it was on a sign!
