Need opinions: quilt block ceramic trivet
I was idly glancing through things on SGW, and I saw a listing for a "Charming Hand Crafted Country Floral Placemat" which was a very simple on point set square with setting points and a narrow border. I thought, that would make a great ceramic trivet. My son is a potter, and while he is very into being an artist and making art, I'm just so practical, and I know it's easier to sell useful things than artsy things. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for artists, many of us here are artists. but, hey, quilting and pottery, what a great idea!
So, I would like you to help me do some market research. If you were wandering through a craft fair, and saw ceramic trivets that looked like quilt blocks, would you buy one? If it depends on price, what seems like a fair price to you? Also, do you think felt pads on the bottom would be ok, or would we have to set them in/on wood? I think we can sand them smooth, too.
Thank you so much for your input, and if we end up getting this into the production phase, you know I'll show you pictures! Cause we are all about pictures around here, right?
