Hello, Potters,
Has anyone had experience with Guild.com, selling or otherwise? If
you're not familiar with it, you should check it out. There are
currently 185 ceramics artists represented, including a fair number of
well knowns - e.g. Byron Temple, Suzanne Stephenson, Christine
Federighi, Chris Gustin. The work ranges from superb to mediocre, IMHO,
but whatever the quality, most of the pricing is "ambitious" to say the
least. Simple functional items I would sell for $40- $60 are routinely
priced in the hundreds. I've heard third hand about a woman who sells
through Guild.com (don't know how much), but her functional work seems
to be priced quite high to me. Seems like a good deal to me, if it
really works.

Be aware that Guild.com is juried - I have the packet and it seems to be a
pretty ambitious thing to get through the application process and be
accepted - but I have read many articles about it in sources ranging from my
local newspapers to New York magazine, to the CA living magazines, and all
I've read are positives, from investors, guild.com employees, and artists
alike. Probably a good place to show.

I have two friends in the Guild and they have very positive experiences with
it.

I requested the info packet way before Guild.com went
on line.
It looks like a first-class operation, but I stopped reading
because they require that they be the EXCLUSIVE seller
of your work online.

This is true, but I think you can get around it. For instance, I know of one
potter who sells his work on Guild.com with his name, but his pottery, under
his business name, has a website where you can order. And they haven't shut
HIM down yet, so...
