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.
I am so happy with this project. It came out so much nicer than I ever imagined. When I first began communicating with Rose, I had a totally different vision of what I wanted. She helped me morph it into something possible. My idea had very weak integrity and, in order to strengthen it, we would have had to sacrifice the visual appeal. So we talked about it for a few weeks and came up with an even better idea. This was a memorial for my son that also includes his surviving twin. They look so realistic. It brought me to tears when I saw it. It is truly a beautifully incredible work of art. And talking to Rose was so nice. She really cares about her work. You can tell. And she is so patient. I wish i could better express how awesome she was throughout the entire process. If I could, I'd give her a big hug. This sculpture is so special. I know my son will still have it long after I'm gone, and he is still just a baby. This will always and forever be in my family. Thank you Rose!!
I could not be happier!!!!!
A little over two months ago I commissioned Rose from Odyssey Arts to create a replica of a vintage cookie jar for my sister. Of the artists I spoke with, Rose was certainly the most reasonable and gave me a very fair estimate and time frame for completion. She kept me informed throughout the entire process from start to finish which I really appreciated. When I received the cookie jar, THRILLED does not even begin to describe how I felt. She did such an amazing job. The jar was beautiful and very well made. My sister loved it so much she screamed when she opened the package. She didn't even realize it had been custom made, she thought it was an original. It's a rare occassion that I take the time to write a review for a company, but Rose deserves a rave for all the time, hardwork, and love she put into my project. I would highly recommend because the beauty and quality of their work will surely please anyone.
The 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!
