This Instagram Auction will be in the style of Good Goods.  It will run on the Tacoma Pottery Salon Instagram for three days.  We will post work for sale throughout the day the 24th.  Bidding will open as soon as items are posted and close on the third day at  5 PM (Pacific). After closing, the highest bidders will have 24 hours to make their payment to me.  

Here is where you come in.  You can help by auctioning an artwork, with all proceeds going to TPS (and handling the shipping or delivery).  I will handle all posting and monitoring of bids.  Please see above for required info and deadline for submission.

You will set the starting bid for your artwork.  I'll let you know when the payment has been made and you'll ship or delivery to the winner.  We can also take cash donations at that time. 

For transparency, Tacoma Pottery Salon has not had and does not have non-profit status.  I will make the fundraiser spreadsheet available to all.
