Commissions


Mark Heidenreich accepts requests for commissions for decorative, feature terracotta and ceramic planters, pots or urns. Your commission could also be a more abstract or contemporary decorative sculpture – such as this white terracotta gum nut sculpture created as a garden feature. 

Mark regularly consults with landscape architects and designers seeking an original artwork to feature in their client’s ideal garden. Some of Marks commissions are by way of other artists to produce a collaborative piece of art – such as this beautiful urn (below) thrown by Mark and decorated by renowned artist Gerry Wedd.

The commission process work typically begins with a phone call or a visit to Mark at his Terra-Villa studio in Adelaide to explore your ideas. Some clients have very clear and specific ideas on what they want – whereas others may not know until they are presented with some ideas and know what is achievable.

Before you visit, you may find inspiration for your commission by viewing some of Mark’s recently completed works in his digital photo gallery. Mark also has a collection of photographs of completed ceramic and terracotta pots, urns and planters to view when you visit his Terra-Villa studio.

Mark typically makes sketches of the commission based on your ideas for your consideration. These pencil sketches illustrate the form and decorative details of the commissioned piece and will give you a good idea of the result.

Commissions are not just for landscape professionals wanting a terracotta garden feature. Terracotta and ceramic commissions are ideal for celebrating that special occasion or that special person. Imagine gifting an original and beautifully decorative planter – perhaps with an equally beautiful camellia or rhododendron in full bloom.

Whatever you decide, Mark will be pleased to meet with you at his Terra-Villa studio in Adelaide and chat about your requirements. Please contact Mark Heidenreich on 0415 404 539 or send an email to to arrange an appointment.
