    S4E14: Selling Local – Start With One

    S4E14: Selling Local – Start With One In this episode of The Pin Tool Podcast, we talk about what it means to sell local—starting small, starting close, and starting with just one customer, one connection, one sale. I share three approaches that have worked at Creek Road Pottery: joining or starting a local art trail with other businesses, doing custom work by choosing the right people to make for, and setting up shop like a yard sale—on your own terms, right where you are. It’s not always about scaling up. Sometimes the strongest foundation for your pottery business is built from personal connections, steady relationships, and local support. Whether you're building a trail, serving one household, or putting your work out on the table for passersby, this episode is about making it real, simple, and direct.

    Welcome back to The Pin Tool Podcast, where we dive deep into the craft, philosophy, and business of making pottery that matters. I’m your host, Alford Wayman, and today, we're discussing being overwhelmed. I don’t have it all figured out. Most days, I’m just like you, swimming through resistance, elbowing my way through the chaos, and trying to remember why I started making pots in the first place. Overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you care. The hard part is deciding what to care about first. Seth Godin Books mentioned: The Practice.
