Whilst all the navel gazing is going on, do not forget you must never
undersell yourself, never mind other potters!
How can you_undersell_yourself_, you wonder? Having your work on sale
at home, in the studio, at fairs, in co-operative shops and in
galleries, but all at different prices. I have known potters have such
a range of prices, it is has confused their customers so much, they
have stopped buying.
Think about it...

and as someone who sits on the board of trustees of a craft gallery, having
differing prices means outlets will stop selling. £100 (say 40%) difference
in galleries less than 50 miles apart is very silly [recent example].
