The first thing you need to know about making good money as a ceramic artist is that it can be done. You don't have to be a master of your craft or have a reputation for being the best in the business. You just need to be able to create beautiful work, market it well and get repeat clients.

Here are some skills you'll need:

Good communication skills

You need to be able to talk with your customers and explain your process clearly. You'll also want to show them how they can make their own pieces at home and get them excited about doing so.

A passion for creating art

This is what makes you different from every other artist out there. It's also what makes you keep coming back for more projects. If you're not passionate about creating something beautiful, don't bother starting out as an artist!

The ability to draw or paint something from memory (not from photographs)

You may have had this skill since kindergarten, but it's still important if you want to start out on your own and sell your work online rather than in person. It also helps if you can draw people accurately so that they'll understand exactly what they're getting when they buy one of your pieces.
