FAQ
(frequently asked questions)
ARE YOUR CERAMICS DISHWASHER AND MICROWAVE SAFE?
Short Answer: Yes, I do it all of the time!
Long Answer: Dishwashers and microwaves are hostile environments which expose your pottery to high fluctuations in temperature and in the case of dishwashers, aggressive detergents. It can affect the glaze and integrity of the piece over time so it is recommended to hand wash all pottery to maintain its longevity.
ARE YOUR GLAZES FOOD SAFE?
Short Answer: Yes!*
I use tried and true glazes that don't contain lead.
Long Answer:
DO YOU TAKE CERAMIC COMMISSIONS / CUSTOM ORDERS?
I don't do custom ceramic work but on occasion I will open up personal commissions for my illustration work on paper. I have found that there are too many variables with making pottery from the clay itself to firing and glazing and it's hard to guaranteee that things will turn out to my standard.
DO YOU WHOLESALE?
At this time I do not offer wholesale.
In regards to paper goods: I am limited on my print runs due to high overhead so I cannot afford to have large quantities of stock sitting.
In regards to ceramics: Due to the time it takes to hand-paint ceramics I do not find it feasible to offer wholesale discounts.
I SAW CERAMICS ON YOUR INSTAGRAM BUT DON'T SEE THEM ON YOUR ONLINE SHOP?
I apologize but my ceramics do sell out and I generally only do a couple of updates a year. One later in the year November/December and then one sometime in the spring/summer.
My regular illustration work takes priority and when I have gaps in that schedule then I love to fill it with making pottery.
WHY DON'T YOU SHIP TO XYZ?
Since it is just me running this business and shipping can be difficult to navigate as is, I have made it easier on myself and only ship to Canada and the USA. This could change in the future but the UK in particular has some confusing (to me) regulations for shipping.
