Started at one pottery sale, six years ago.
The Artist Buddy began as a single folding table at a community pottery sale, where three studio potters couldn't find anywhere online that didn't take a third of every sale. We built the storefront we wished existed: one that names the maker, ships from their studio, and takes a flat, published fee instead of a hidden cut.
