Walter I would suggest that you find those places first, I don t know any
Back when here were a places that did slip cast ceramic the firing fee as based on the cost of the
grreenware and its price was based on the price of the mold used Most would not fire
thrown or handbuild ceramics because of the danger to other work,
Charging a firing fee is a nightmare, Person A made 6 coffee mugs
person B has 2 large bowls, person C had 20 pendents and person D had a
set of 5 coasters, person E had a single tall vase
And I think we are paying less than that for power, so the cost is
not that high The reclaimed clay is at no cost to use, other than someone s time to work ti
I am going to mention a similar problem that folks have when they share an art booth, How do you split
up the booth fee? If you do 50/50 you end up breaking up a friendship over how to divide the booth Say one
person has 50 pairs of earring on a display and the other one has 5 necklaces that take up a 12 x12 inch area
It just means lot of argument about space and such. I don t think any committee chairman wants
to end up in that place, (BTW, what seems to work the best is percentage based on your percentage of sales_
