FAQs About Potter’s Insurance

Why Do Potters Need Insurance?

Potters need insurance to shield their business from costly claims that can arise when selling handmade goods.

Even the most skilled ceramic artists face unexpected mishaps — from a chipped vase causing injury, to display damages at markets, to studio slip-and-fall accidents. The right coverage helps ensure a single claim won’t shatter your handmade business dreams.

Do Potters Need Insurance to Sell at Craft Fairs and Art Shows?

Yes, organizers of craft fairs and art shows often require all vendors to have a certain amount of general liability insurance coverage. You’ll also likely need pottery liability insurance to showcase your pieces in galleries, land brand deals with retailers, or sell your handmade items on certain online marketplaces.

How Much Does a $1 Million Pottery Business Insurance Policy Cost?

A $1 million pottery business insurance policy costs $24.25 per month with ACT Pro. This is a General Liability and Product Liability Insurance policy tailored for artists and crafters that includes:

  • A $1 million per occurrence limit (the maximum coverage you can receive per claim)
  • A $2 million aggregate limit (the maximum coverage you can receive per policy period)

Does Pottery Insurance Cover Online Sales as Well as In-Person Events?

Yes, an ACT Pro policy is an annual general liability and product liability policy for crafters and artists, covering your business in these areas for both online sales and in-person events.

If you only need coverage for a single in-person event and not for online sales, an ACT Go policy may be a better fit.

Does Potter’s Insurance Cover My Wheel, Tools, and Supplies?

Yes — both ACT Pro and ACT Go offer optional Theft & Damage Coverage to protect your movable tools and equipment.

Your gear travels with you, and this coverage is designed to help cover the cost to repair or replace your movable business property, like your wheel, tools, and supplies. It’s an optional add-on on ACT Pro (+$4.50/month) and available on ACT Go ($54), so you’re protected whether you sell year-round or one event at a time.
