How to Name a Pottery Business

Starting your own pottery venture is an amazing step forward. You’ve likely spent years mastering the art of making pottery and ceramics so now’s your time to shine. One of the first steps in starting your new company involves choosing a name.

Pottery business names can vary widely with some using the owner’s name to others  specifying the type of pottery offered. For example, you could call your company “Mugs by Martha” if you’re named Martha and want to focus on drinkware. Alternatively, you could pick “The Pottery Palace” if you plan to create many different types of pottery.

Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Pottery Business

Your business’s name is the very first connection you will make with prospective customers. It’s important that you define your organization’s mission, vision, values, and target audience as much as possible. 

Before naming your pottery venture, ensure that you fully understand exactly how you will run your company. Familiarize yourself with the industry and determine what it takes to start a successful business by conducting thorough research.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind when launching and naming a pottery company:

  • Many potters dream of turning their talents into a full-time business venture; of ditching the suit and corporate world to spend their days in the studio creating pieces that will bring joy to others for years to come. 
  • Being able to craft a quality clay piece is only half the challenge. You must also possess the creativity and drive to continuously seek out new avenues for displaying and selling your work. 
  • Many consumers settle for cheaper pottery items that are mass produced. Those who purchase handmade pieces appreciate the time and skill that goes into each creation and are willing to pay a little extra for their one-of-a-kind piece.

Step #2: Begin Brainstorming

We’ve shared some brainstorming techniques that you can use to get your creative juices flowing.

  • Jot down some specific keywords for your pottery business name. Here are a few examples:
    • Ornaments
    • Mugs
    • Plates
    • Bowls
    • Vases
  • Think of adjectives that would describe your pottery business and the types of products offered to derive inspiration. Here are some examples:
    • Ceramic
    • Clay
    • Handcrafted
    • Handmade
    • Custom
  • Experiment with other branding and brainstorming techniques.
