At The Pottery Garden, I love bringing custom visions to life! There’s something special about creating a piece just for you, whether it’s a set of mugs in your favorite colors, a custom dinnerware set, or a one-of-a-kind planter that’s the perfect fit for your space. Working with you to design and craft a piece that’s as unique as your style is one of my favorite parts of being a potter.

3. Creating Your Custom Piece
After we’ve finalized the design, I’ll get to work! I’ll be handcrafting each piece with special attention to detail, letting the clay take shape according to our plan. This stage is where the piece starts to come alive, and I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you’re part of the process.
4. Firing and Finishing
After the piece is shaped, I’ll apply the custom glaze and carefully fire it in the kiln. This step is where the colors, textures, and final look come together. You’ll see your piece emerge with all the unique details we discussed, transformed from raw clay into something durable and beautiful.
5. Your Piece, Ready to Enjoy
Once your piece has been fired, glazed, and fully cooled, I’ll make sure it’s ready for you to enjoy. Whether it’s shipped to your door or picked up in person, your custom pottery piece will be crafted to last, with your personal style and story embedded in every curve and color.
Let’s Create Something Just for You
I’d love to bring your ideas to life and help you create a piece that’s truly your own. Contact me to start the journey, and together we’ll create something beautiful that you’ll treasure for years to come.
How It Works: Your Vision, My Craft
Creating a custom piece with me is simple, personal, and enjoyable – because it’s all about your ideas and preferences, with a touch of my artistic input to make sure your piece comes to life just as you’ve imagined.
1. We Chat About Your Ideas
First, we’ll connect to discuss what you have in mind. Whether you already know exactly what you want or need a little help finding the perfect design, I’ll listen to your ideas and inspirations. I’ll ask about the shapes, sizes, colors, and textures you love so I can understand what’s most important to you.
2. Designing Together
Once I know what you’re looking for, I’ll draft a plan that captures your vision. This could include sketches, photos of clay samples, or examples of glazes to help bring the idea to life. You’ll have the chance to give feedback, make adjustments, and approve the design before I start shaping the clay.
