Product Curation and Sourcing
We scout, audit, and sign workshops so you do not have to gamble on unknown suppliers. The desk visits kilns and studios in person, reviews materials and firing methods, checks business licenses, and samples production runs before anything reaches your catalog. Roughly one workshop in five passes, and that number is the point: a short roster of proven makers beats a long list of hopefuls.
Once a workshop joins the roster we manage the relationship for you: fair floor prices, seasonal calendars, exclusive colorways, and reorders timed to your sales curve. If you need a private variant — a glaze, a size, a mark — we handle the negotiation and the sample loop until the piece is right.
