A pottery t-shirt can be a fun way to show your love for ceramics and also makes a great gift for potters and artists. And these days, there’s a lot of custom t-shirts available at print-on-demand websites where the shirt designer also gets a small cut of the sale price. It’s a great way to support a fellow artist or designer, and to get a fun shirt.
If you’ve never ordered from a print-on-demand site, it’s easy. Simply choose your size and style, and sometimes you are able to also choose what color of shirt to print on. Some sites will have the design available on a wide variety of other products too. After placing your order, your item will be printed and shipped within a few days. There a lots of sites like this, including Society6, RedBubble, Threadless, and more.
Here are a few of our favorite shirts.
