I'm writing a business plan for my small studio pottery making primarily
handmade tiles, and they want to know the market size in terms of dollar sales
and/or number of businesses or customers, how the "industry" has developed and
grown, how the industry as a whole is changing, and whether it is growing or
declining. Whew! Any ideas, leads and info would be so appreciated. (I did look
in the archives first.) Thanks,

Nomi,

(oops, forgot to sign it the first time I sent this)

Try contacting the Tile Heritage foundation, they might be able to direct
you to a good source for figures.
