Questions? Contact me via Instagram or Tiktok @potteryapocalypse, or email: potteryapocalypse@gmail.com
DETAILS: Sign up will be open until full.
To participate, sign up, pay the return mail fee and mail 5 ceramic / kiln-fired pottery ATCs - Artist Trading Cards - to my address by 9/30/2026. Your ATC's must be approximately 2.5" x 3.5" finished size (see the link to a pottery shrinkage calculator below), either portrait or vertical orientation. Pottery should be thick enough / sturdy enough to survive mailing. I roll mine out to just over 1/4". Technique can be anything you like, including cold finishes, but the base of the card should be kiln-fired pottery (earthenware, stoneware, porcelain etc.). No polymer clay please.
In return you will receive 6 pottery ATCs - 5 chosen at random from the entries, and one bonus ATC handmade by me. The cost of the mail fee will go to packaging and return postage within the United States.
