I was talking with a potter friend the other day. Her and her husband have been full time potters for many years. They produce a beautiful line of very elegant functional pottery. It is such a pleasure for me to talk with folks like this and it's amazing to me how generous they have been to Sandy and I in the early years of our pottery business. One subject we spoke about was doing custom orders. They have grown their business so large that they no longer do very many custom orders. She stated to me 'we just don't have time anymore to be someones personal potter'. It occurred to me that that's exactly the niche that Sandy and I occupy. Because we are part time potters this has become a source of satisfaction for us. So if you ever need something custom, a specific color, shape, size or that special gift please let us know and we'd love to make it for you. Some examples of what we have made are custom goblets for a friends engagement party, a set of 7 large planters for a large window ledge, and a very intersting set of sugar pourers. There is nothing more enjoyable to see the look on a satisfied customers face when they recieve their order. And I think they truly understand what it means to have something made from scratch by our hands. Every step of our production is hand made, from pulling the wet clay out of the bag, shaping the piece on the wheel or completely in our hands, hand signing each piece, glazing it with our home made glazes and finally hand delivering or mailing it to you. It may take a little longer but thats what we do at From Dust to Clay. We're your personal potter!

All the best, Bill and Sandy
