Do you run a pottery studio from a retail shop premises?
I have written a book: “The Essential Guide to Setting Up and Running a Pottery Studio”. It will be published later this year (2026). This is a substantial book that addresses a significant gap in the literature for an in-depth guide to setting up a pottery.
I want to include photos of studio pottery businesses that operate from within a retail shop premises. I would prefer to showcase those that pay rent/lease rather than own the property, but will consider all.
If you can supply a royalty free image (at least 300dpi with longest side at least 3000 pixels, and in focus) that clearly shows the outside of your premises, then I might include it in my book. You will effectively receive long term free advertising by being shown in the book. Your photo and business location will be credited.
Please note:
1) Images must be supplied without any conditions for use attached (they must be completely royalty free, and you must be the copyright owner). I will not use them in any manner that may cause any damage to your business/reputation, etc.
2) I am NOT interested in ‘Paint your own pottery’ type businesses, or potteries set up exclusively to run classes. You MUST be a studio potter producing handmade unique items.
If you are interested then please contact me directly via the email address on my website:

I will reply as soon as I’m able but please understand that it may take a while...
The image below is a pre-publish copy of the front cover of my book. The book is not yet available to buy, but you can contact me to request an email notification when it is published.
Thank you
