Studio Announcements

We’re officially accepted for Lowell Folk Festival’s Marketplace again this year! Below will contain tons of details and links to sign up for this community sales event so take a read through!

Dates and Times for our booth:

    •    Saturday July 26th 12pm-7:30pm

    •    Sunday July 27th 12pm-5pm

Located in the Enterprise Bank parking lot at 222 Merrimack Street

Each ticket purchase will cover one plastic tote provided by the Pottery Mill.​ Each tote fills approximately two of the shelf spaces. They will be filled by staff appropriately so any extra stock will be used to replenish gaps.

We are asking that each member pay a registration fee of $20 per ticket (only $10 a day woo!!).

All other fees will include:

    •    MA Sales Tax - 6.25%

    •    Stripe % - 2.90%

    •    Stripe $  - $0.30

    •    Pottery Mill % - 20.00%

The studio will only take 20% off of your sales to account for the costs of packaging and staffing. All of our planning and packaging information can be found on the waiver below.

There are about 8 tickets available and you can register for as many as you see fit.

Members must pack, label (including Member ID letter, Pot ID number, and Price), and deliver all of their pieces to the studio by the WEDNESDAY prior to the event and have it checked/approved by staff.

Payment will reflect any processing fees, labor, sales tax, and material fees, no matter the transaction method. Material fees include packaging and display costs.

PLEASE FOLLOW OUR REGISTRATION STEPS IN ORDER WITH THE LINKS BELOW:

1) Fill out the Community Table Waiver https://waiver.fr/p-uGUi8 

2) Purchase your shelf spots (This will look like you are booking class tickets, so you’ll need to select July 26th. Each “participant” is actually a shelf space.) https://www.potterymill.com/saleandeventregistration

3) Fill out your inventory under the Lowell Folk Fest 2025 sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LXcBDVRmXKVkbpR9OEJTZ4B6XovBToOIkB-YNxozgYY/edit?usp=sharing

4) Drop off pottery in OUR designated totes by July 23rd.

This is a great chance to sell your pieces to a large audience (100,000 visitors expected that weekend) without you having to be there or have a ton of inventory/sales experience!

Volunteering Guidelines (Do you want to come hang out/help me?)

    •    You are welcome to come help us set up and break down the sale but during the event only a few staff/volunteers are needed as it should be a bit easier of a process compared to loading in and unloading each day.

    •    Members volunteering will help handle pottery, replenish stock, and/or disassemble the booth after the conclusion of an event. Members should also be comfortable promoting/talking about the studio to others alongside staff members.
