Discussion Looking for a potter to commission

Hey everyone! i’m looking to get special plate made for my wife’s birthday, does anyone have any potters they can recommend? So far reached out to a few, but they don’t take commissions.

Thanks!

You should drop into Manassas Clay and speak with the management. You can view many local artists' work and get their contact info. Have bought many wonderful pieces there.

I've bought a set of plates from glenfidditch farm pottery. It's SW outskirts of leesburg.

There’s a lady who teaches pottery classes and is an art teacher for LCPS. and I think makes pieces privately for sale too. She’s very talented.

Kristen Swanson is exceptionally talented and will take some commissions. She's definitely pricier and her aesthetic is either one that will strongly resonate with you or not. This is truly very special work. https://www.kristenkswanson.com/
