All pieces should be considered delicate and handled with care. I have no tried-and-true way to repair broken pottery; any attempt to do so is at your own risk. Also, sending me pictues of your broken items breaks my heart.
Each piece is unique and hand-made by yours truly, from start to finish. I also do all the behind the scenes stuff (and, trust me, there's a lot of it).
If you wanna get all technical, I fire to cone 6 in an electric kiln using stoneware clay. I make all my glazes.
My pieces are microwave safe. All microwaved ceramic items - as with anything that goes in the microwave - can get hot and should be handled with caution.
Pieces are dishwasher safe, although handwashing is recommended to prolong the sheen of the glaze.
I currently do a several local markets a year in Guelph, ON, and stock a few local
locations (check out the Find My Stuff link).
I love my non-local customers and appreciate all the follows! I try to squeeze in online shop updates in between markets, depending on stock.
Shipping costs are nuts and out of my control. I often accept a small loss on shipping fees, and this doesn't include the cost of keep the necessary packing supplies in stock.
I sometimes take custom orders and sometimes pre-orders, it kinda depends on where I'm at with my inventory. I don't do wholesale, or make items specifically to look like the work of other potters ('cus that's not cool). I gotta do me! Artistic integrity matters. It sucks when someone rips off your work (it's happened).
