Absolutely. As long as there are no cracks on the interior of a bowl, plate, mug, etc., it is completely safe to use for food and drink. All of my glazes are lead free.

In my experience, yes. I would recommend testing your purchase in the microwave before putting any food or drink in it in order to avoid a potential mess. While the risk is very, very low, it may be a good idea to play it safe.

In my experience, mostly yes. I have had one report of a mug breaking in a dishwasher. Due to this report, I would suggest sticking to handwashing your purchase in order to avoid a potential breakage.

Travesties often have remedies. Simply reach out to me via email in the inquiries tab and I will address the situation. Due to my inexperience in the realm of packaging my work, I am bound to slip up and pieces will break. I will gladly send a similar item at no extra cost to you or simply refund your purchase (whichever you prefer).

Of course. Requests are often times a great source of inspiration and innovation for me. Simply reach out to me via email in the inquiries tab and I will gladly consider your request. Commissions are limited to 20 inches tall and 30 inches wide due to my kiln’s capacity.

Probably not. A massive amount of time and effort go into formulating and testing a new glaze. However, it doesn’t hurt to ask. If I get enough requests for a certain hue, I just might look into it.

While I am somewhat against the idea of “sales” for my work, I may consider exceptions for orders over $100 (before tax and shipping costs).

It was very hard for me to overcome the thought of monetizing my passion in the first place. If I am to eventually make a living off of my work. I unfortunately have to charge for it. For those who are understandably wary of spending $20-$30 on what seems to be a simple mug, for example, feel free to check out the “blemish” section of my shop for discounted work.

I’m no more deserving of support than the next person. That being said, every single piece I make has hours of my time and soul put into it. Although it’s difficult not to sound arrogant while attesting to the quality of my work, I feel the need to elaborate further. My work is not the same as the mass-produced pots you can find at a supermarket or corporate shopping center. Every piece is genuinely unique and contains a part of me. It’s up to you to determine whether that’s worth the price or not. I own a genuine passion for my craft; a fact that I think is evident in every piece of clay I manage to hone.
