FAQ

How long does a custom order take to ship?

Custom ceramic pieces typically require anywhere from 4-12 weeks for creation, depending on the design's complexity and current workload. This timeframe includes crafting, drying, firing, glazing, and final firing processes. Shipping time is additional.

Are your ceramics dishwasher and microwave safe?

The peices created are dishwasher and microwave safe, however, handwashing is often recommended to prolong the item's life.

Are the glazes food-safe and non-toxic?

Yes, I use lead-free, food-safe glazes and materials. If the piece is a vase or home item not typically utilized for food, there is a likelihood that the glaze is NOT food-safe, and will be explained as so in the description of the item. 

What should I expect in terms of variations between pieces?

Due to the handmade nature of ceramics, slight variations in color, shape, and texture are normal and add to each piece's uniqueness.

I’ve always been overly dedicated to finding and sourcing unique ceramics for my home. The hours of my life spent rummaging through thrift stores with my best friend are countless, as are the treasures we’ve found. My collection of ceramic mugs is among my most prized possessions.

I first found ceramics through my grandmother, I remember her bringing home these massive ceramic molds, spending hours painting every detail, and finishing off the edges in 14k gold.

As many did, during the pandemic I made a short list of things I wanted to do, ceramics was among that list. I figured if I was collecting so many beautiful pieces, I eventually wanted to be able to have a dinner party and say “I made that” instead of “I found that”. Four years later and what was supposed to be a hobby turned into a passion and now my husband is building shelves just so I can have somewhere to put them all.

Now I have a home studio tucked away in our second bedroom, where I get the pleasure of throwing with my two dogs laying next me. This practice has taught me how to be okay with things not going my way, because half the things don’t even make it to the shelf. It’s taught me that mistakes are really investments in my future practice, and that if you just slow down and breathe then you can truly become one with the earth (because clay is earth).
