About Leslie Messersmith

My studio, Locust Hill Pottery, is in Mechanicsville, Va. My early training in production pottery and my degree in sculpture from VCU have carried me on a path to creating useful and beautiful objects. I also enjoy making sculptural, decorative objects. I use many different ceramic processes to create my work and am inspired by the natural world and by the rich history of ceramics worldwide. I participate in several local craft shows annually. You can see my work in these  Virginia galleries: Spoke and Art in Williamsburg and Refunkit in Ashland. Check out the Events and Workshops sections to see what’s coming up for the next few months! I am working on adding a shop to this website- stay tuned!
