57. What To Do w/ Your Seconds: "Save it for Link Day..."

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

Lindsey and Donte discuss what they do when the kiln gods do NOT bless their firings, and they end up with pieces that don’t meet their regular quality standards. They share what makes a “second” for them, the pros and cons of selling seconds, the different ways you could go about it if you’re considering selling your seconds, and how we navigate the abject horror of our audiences on hammer-happy Link Day...

Have you ever bought a “second” from an artist? Do you sell your seconds?
