I am curious about the experiences folks have selling hollow forms. I've been turning for about 4 1/2 years and have sold my bowls at fine craft fairs in the area, as well as on-line. I listened to a lot of advice on line about pricing bowls and tuned my pricing based on the markets I was in, continuously increasing my average sale price. My pricing was never based on time and materials, rather what the market would bear. In the last year or so, I have focused on making hollow forms; some are vase-like but most are purely decorative explorations of shape and the beauty of the wood. I am preparing for a high end craft show this Fall, and starting to think about how to price the hollow forms. Are there rules of thumb people use? Is there a multiplier for a HF over a bowl of similar dimensions and wood type? Other factors to consider? Thanks for any thoughts on this.
