Mobile businesses “take the pottery or the crafts to the people”. Typically, a mobile set up will organise parties or sessions at nurseries, schools, events, businesses and even homes of their customers.
For many people, the thought of commiting themselves to a shop lease and other costs associated with establishing a high street business is just not a tenable proposition - the mobile business provides a perfect solution.
Mobile Party operators generally use their own home as their base - a garage or large wooden shed is all that is needed to store equipment. Additional mobile venues can be hospitals, village halls, nursing homes, fetes, bazaars, clubs and pubs. There is no end to the opportunities that exist!
A mobile pottery business can offer:
A mobile business will bring everything required to paint pottery. At the end of the event, the painted pottery is taken away to be hand glazed and fired in a kiln. The fired item is then returned - usually within a week.
Business owners will need a kiln, bisque, underglaze, glazes, brushes, tool and accessories. We have developed starter kits and check lists to suit all budgets and provide ongoing support.
A mobile crafts business can offer:
After training, business owners have the flexibility to order stock as required. We can help with advice and support on the range of products we offer.
The beauty of a mobile business is that owners are not bound to their original idea - businesses can evolve as demand increases or as confidence grows. Therefore it makes sense to start a business that will give you flexibility to expand.
