Moved to LA and struggling to find customers for my ceramics
I’m a ceramic artist who recently moved to LA from Armenia. Back home, my work was really popular and I had a strong customer base, but since moving here 7 months ago, I’ve been struggling to get orders.
I make handmade ceramic mugs and different pottery pieces, but I specialize in custom pet mugs. I know my work is good I just feel lost when it comes to finding customers in LA.
I’m very active on Instagram and TikTok, but Etsy hasn’t worked well for me so far.
Would really appreciate any advice from artists, small business owners, or anyone who’s grown a handmade business in LA.
How did you find your first customers? Markets? Coffee shop collabs? Content ideas? Anything helps 🙏

Studio under 1000$
Hey everyone!
I’m a ceramic artist planning to move to LA area, and I’m trying to figure out a realistic setup for working with my kiln.
Finding a rental house where landlords are okay with kiln installation in a garage/patio seems pretty difficult, so now I’m looking into other options.
Does anyone know about:
ceramic coworking spaces
shared pottery studios
small private ceramic studios/workspaces
in Glendale, Burbank, or North Hollywood?
My budget is ideally under $1000/month for studio rent.
I’d love a space where I could work regularly and possibly use/install a kiln or have kiln access.
Would really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences 💛
