Since my sister decided I needed to get in on her adventure (she does handmade cards at the local fall festival) I've been busy.
What's a realistic number I should have for inventory for a 4 day festival? In a perfect world I'd say 350 but I'm realistic and really don't think I'll sell very many but I don't want to have 25 and run out on day two. I've been trying to average one a day but like today I did five rough turned and didn't finish turn any. So tomorrow I'll try to knock out 3-4 finished to make up for the couple of days I haven't finished any.
For the sellers, do you have a set amount you try to make or batch out a bunch? How do you do it? This festival is the first two weekends in October and I'm starting to get nervous because I only have roughly thirty so far. I have plenty of rough turned dry bowls to work on, just need to set a goal. Goals seem to work better for me then making as many as possible and getting burned out.
