Sw Native American Cremation Urn
This is a cremation urn inspired by a SW Native American design. This urn was hand-built with red terra cotta clay coils and smoothed, fired, glazed, and fired again. I love feeling and working so intimately with the clay, forming a unique vessel. This example has a traditional SW Eagle design, but I can do any motif you like. It will take me 2-3 weeks from conceptual design to finished product, ready to ship.

Odyssey Arts
Maker Marketplace is a perfect outlet for me. I make customized pottery items from my small home studio in West Bend, Wisconsin.
I don't have much extra space, so I like to concentrate on making projects that are exactly what you want. I enjoy very unique commissions.
Odyssey Arts takes commissioned orders for custom pottery items, and portraits.
I also do business as Odyssey Urns, specifically making custom urns for People and Pets. I would love to help you Create a Unique Legacy!
The urns you see here are examples to show the quality and type of work I do. My examples are meant to give you inspiration and ideas about who you are and how you want to be remembered: your interests, your accomplishments, your hobby or business, etc.
I also make conte (a hard pressed charcoal in earth tone colors) drawing portraits.

May 23, 2016I had broken a ceramic tile that I had purchased 15 years or so ago and I needed it replaced. It was a special size with a custom design, and I found Rose from Custom Made to work on the project for me. She was very helpful and did a great job.

Nov 5, 2014Working with Rose was a great experience. She was very thoughtful, and checked in with questions throughout the process. She checked in on color choices and design to make sure I was happy. Rose set clear expectations on the timing of the project based on how long it would take to dry properly, etc., and kept to her timeline. I am very happy with my final project and would happily recommend this artist to anyone looking for a custom ceramic piece.

Dec 2, 2016The final project turned out even better than I expected. Rose was so helpful and communicative. And her work as an artist is incredible. Could not have asked for anything better. Thank you!

Feb 6, 2013Rose was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely good at communicating with me during the entire process. Any time I had a question, she answered me very quickly, usually within a couple of days, most often the same or next day! As I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and made some changes in the process, she was extremely flexible with my requests, and made me feel comfortable asking her to do them. Rose treated my project with care and compassion, and my wife loved it. It turned out better than I imagined. As an artist of sorts (I am a musician) I understand the importance of leaving room for an artist to put their own selves and creativity into a project they're working on, and she was able to add touches and creativity to fill out my vision better thatn I pictured. She is extremely competent. I highly recommend working with Rose Belschner. She will definitely meet your satisfaction, as she did mine.

Nov 17, 2014Working with Rosemarie was a delight. She was very patient and accommodating. Delivery was faster than estimated and I am very happy with the final project. I would highly recommend this urn for anyone who loved their furry friend and wants a happy final resting place for their pal. I wanted something that would make me smile to look at on the mantel, not something that screamed death. This is exactly what I was looking for. Craftsmanship is nice and attention to detail is on point. I would definitely work with Rosemarie in the future and recommend her work.
