A couple years ago, a potter running a shop in Asheville, NC told me that although they'll "never say it" (🤔), potters hate doing commission work. I've wanted to commission two weird pieces for few years, and now I'm even more self-conscious about doing so.

Is that even true, or was it a bad overgeneralization?

@melissa i mean i think there are artists in any medium who don’t love commission work because they just want to work from their own inspiration

But there are definitely also artists of all mediums who like commissions because it gives them a chance to consider interesting ideas they never would have come up with on their own
