Need to find potter that can do an emotional piece.

This might be an odd request but here goes... I have a tree... a special tree, that is tied to some very specific and quite traumatic things in my life. It's still a work in progress but I want to start the search for the right pot. I want it to be commissioned for this tree specifically. I am going to have to tell the potter the story behind it which is intensely personal. I'm not sure but I think I want to find a female potter... (nothing personal fellas!!!) as it fits the story. So this person would need to be somewhat of an artist not just someone who makes nice pots... This does not even have to be a traditional pot per se. I'm not wealthy but I also know such a request won't be cheap. If anyone is interested or knows someone I should contact, sent me a DM. I'm not comfortable telling the story to the whole world so that would have to be part of the discussion.

Besides Sara Raynor, the only other female potter I know of is

Forest Inn Pottery

www.forestinnpottery.com

I have 2 or 3 of her pots. She does great work and makes pots from small to pretty large size.

Can vouch for the quality and artistry of this potter as well. I bought one of her pots and met her at a show a while back.

Good luck.

You could try to reach out to Paul Olsen. He’s a potter but is also is a professor at RISD. His connection to pottery, bonsai, and artists may be able to get you connected with the right person.
