Susan Robertson has been a successful recipient of our Marketing Grant, Business Improvement Grant and our Showcase or Sell Travel Grant, all supporting her to do the incredible work she is doing today!
Here’s what she had to say:
“Hi, I’m in the studio now. I just wanted to show you what it looks like and what we’re doing here. And to let you know that I have successfully applied for Creative Saskatchewan grants in the past, which have been really helpful in enabling me to expand my pottery business. And to give you an idea of some of the work that we do, these are rows and rows of mugs that we have made. And you know, to give you an idea of the kind of volume that we do here, last year we made 3,562 mugs, just mugs. That’s not anything else. And here are some of the orders that we’re working on. And that’s all thanks to Creative Saskatchewan enabling me to go to the Toronto Gift Show. I encourage everyone to apply. They’re there to help. They make it fairly easy now to apply for grants for marketing and yeah, just do it. Doesn’t take a lot of work.”
THANK YOU Susan for showing us a behind-the-scenes look at your work, we’re so proud of your success – if you want to get your hands on one of her stunning pieces, visit her website: Susan Robertson pottery
