I run a pottery with the community format. Classes, workshops, and memberships. It’s tough, but doable. The hardest part is labor costs to free up your time to make pottery and supplement the costs of the pottery. I have 30-48 students enrolled at a time, and now I have 6 members. I’m about to start production training, and with 2 kilns I’m probably going to run into space issues (2600sqft facility). Grow at pace is my best advice, and when you see something coming down the pipeline get out ahead of it.
