Previously, the focus at Brush Up Pottery was painting on canvas. Borchard quickly realized that the interest in canvas painting was beginning to wane; if she was going to keep the business alive, the focus needed to shift.

So, she decided to focus on pottery with other media like wood and canvas, offering variety to fill the gaps.
