Potter’s Fire Grand Opening
Herndon Virginia business owner and artisan Mike Faul poses in front of the Potters Fire on Station Street near the corner of Center Street. Come on by and visit this unique pottery shop in the Historic Downtown District of Herndon next to the Abrams Landau building
Reston residents Rose and Mike Faul spent the summer preparing the space next door to Abrams Landau for the arrival of their new business, Potter’s Fire. On Thursday, October 10, they celebrated with a Grand Opening.
Although neighbor and fellow Herndon business owner Doug Landau was called away to Connecticut for a mediation on the day of the shop’s grand opening, many Herndon community members enjoyed the festivities. On hand were Mayor Lisa Merkel, Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce President Eileen Curtis, Councilmembers Sheila Olem and Dave Kirby, Council for the Arts of Herndon Chair Signe Freidrichs, Delegate Tom Rust (R-Herndon), and many more.
A reporter from Herndon Patch also was there to take pictures and write about the event. Click here to read the Patch article.
Neighbor Landau, who owns the building at 797 Center Street, is excited for the Faul’s. “This has been their dream — to open a pottery studio,” says Doug. “It is really a one-of-a-kind shop. They designed and threw large mugs for my son’s graduation from Naval Officer’s Candidate School with the US Navy Military Medical logos that he will have as a one-of-a-kind keepsake forever. Where else can customers find – and even help design – unique gifts and keepsakes? I am thrilled for Mike and Rose and wish them much success in their new endeavor.”
