Exposure

Your pieces gain exposure through our retail site JustArtPottery.com, leading third-party auction platforms, search engines, social media, and our active newsletter subscriber base.

We handle everything—from listings and buyer questions to packing, shipping, and final transactions. Your only job is to collect payment once the sale is complete.
