For potters
Turn your pottery process into a digital guide.
Potters can turn repeated questions into a digital workbook: centering, cracks, glaze tests and what to change on the next piece. Explore a guide idea for the followers learning from your videos. We research, write and design it in your voice, built first at our cost.
For creators with an engaged, English speaking audience, typically between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.
The questions
The guide is already in your comments.
Repeated questions can suggest what a guide should explain. They do not prove that someone will buy. We read your content, comments and questions, then group the recurring asks into a product idea to evaluate.

- CenteringBody position, water, and the feel of true centre.
- Opening and pulling wallsEven walls, controlled height, fewer collapses.
- Trimming and handlesLeather-hard timing, and attaching a handle that stays.
- Drying without cracksWhere cracks come from, and how to slow things down.
- Glazing basicsDipping, layering, and test tiles you can learn from.
- Firing and troubleshootingReading the results and fixing the next batch.
Likely buyers
The people already asking you.
- Beginners after their first class, with no teacher at home.
- Hobby potters with studio access who want to stop losing pieces.
- Followers who watch your process videos on repeat.
Why a guide
Pottery has long feedback loops: you find out days later that something went wrong. A guide that explains the causes, with a log and a diagnosis chart, saves your followers weeks of guessing.

Questions
Before you apply.
My throwing videos are free. Why would anyone pay for a guide?
Videos show hands on clay. A guide explains the why behind each step and what to change when a piece fails, with a log to learn from every firing. We do not promise sales. We build the full product first, at our cost, so you can judge it before agreeing to anything.
Do I need to write the guide myself?
No. We research, write and design the whole product from your content and your audience's questions, in your voice. You read the finished product and approve it before anything is published.
Who owns the product?
This is set in the written agreement before work starts. We do not publish anything under your name without your approval, and we do not claim your audience or your content.
