While it’s still Monday, we’d like to introduce you all to two of our favorite makers, Jim & Jess of Reeds in the Valley 🤗
Jim & Jessica Reed are husband & wife, parents, OG members of Artisans of Loudoun, avid football fans, & co-owners of a candle making company called Reeds in the Valley. Oh, and Jim is also a veteran and he wrote a book. J Denison Reed
From Jim & Jess:
“Our company started in 2014. When we became a family in 2012, we didn't have much money but we did love candles and it was Jim's idea to try and make them. 💕 We gave them as gifts and when friends and family asked for more, we thought we could make a business out of it to help support our family. We're known for our Signature Blends, colorful products and our wooden wicks. We have over 60 fragrances and have started to do layered candles. Our most popular fragrances are Wooded Glen, Sugar Plum Fairy, and Santa's Reindeer.”
Support your fellow makers by following them on Facebook and IG where they post their pop up schedule, new products, and process videos. 😍

Hey, Artisans! This please meet Chris, owner of Rustic Slate Candle Company 🤗
“I live in Leesburg with my beautiful fiancé Annabelle and our wonderful black kitty, Aurora. I started Rustic Slate in January 2019 to make a difference in our world. 🌎💕
By that Fall, my business had evolved into Rustic Slate Candle Company, where every candle sold plants a tree! To date over 700 trees have been planted and new product lines created to include wax melts and hand dipped incense sticks. 🌲
The best part is seeing the smiles that my aromas and rainbow of colors bring to my customers faces. 🌈😍

Tip Tuesday✨ Charge what you are worth and then add tax. 💪🏽
Seriously. Setting prices can be challenging. But remember that you are running a business, not a charity. Your costs are more than just the materials. You need to cover time, energy, website fees, packaging and delivery fees, and everything thing else it takes to run your business.
🍷
Networking and talking to other makers for pricepoints, ideas, and support helps. Join us for our second Zoom chat on May 25th at 7:30 pm. We’ll be discussing the changing market. To attend, just join our Facebook group (Artisans for Artisans of Loudoun) for the link. 🤗

Please meet the amazing Amy Manson, owner of Clay and Metal Loft 🤗
Clay and Metal Loft is an art studio and gallery, located in downtown Leesburg, featuring pottery, jewelry, and acrylic pour workshops🎨
Amy has made, sold, and taught pottery for 18 years. She began her pottery adventure as a way to relax while being stay at home mom to her two daughters (who are now in college). Eventually, her hobby grew into a side hustle that had her teaching classes and selling her handmade creations all over Loudoun. 🤩
In 2018, Amy opened Clay with a business partner, Ann, who has since retired. Clay and Metal Loft has grown into a thriving art studio and gallery hosting students from all over Loudoun and surrounding areas. 💪🏽
Amy has opened Clay’s studio, gallery, and workshop spaces to fellow artists. She believe in supporting and growing the Loudoun art community. ❤️ Let’s support Amy by following her Amy Manson Pottery and The Clay and Metal Loft
