FAQ

  • I’m not taking custom orders or commissions right now.

  • My work isn’t ideal for wholesale because I make mostly one-offs and don’t produce a ton of work. (I also have a full-time office job!) If you have a shop in NYC and are interested in carrying a few of my pieces, I might be able to arrange something. Drop me a line.

  • Nope! I hate making handles and don’t find joy in that process, so I avoid making mugs, even though people ask me for them often.

    • My work is food and microwave safe unless otherwise noted.

    • While handmade pottery can go in the dishwasher, I recommend hand-washing to ensure it lasts for years to come.

    • My work isn’t oven-safe.

  • I’ve been making pottery consistently since early 2016. I dabbled a bit here and there before that.

  • The end-to-end process takes a few weeks to a month because of how my community studio works.

    My actual hands-on time varies per-piece. Throwing and trimming are relatively quick stages. For my hand-painted work, surface decoration can take anywhere between one and 4+ hours. There are lots of steps in between — drying, waiting for the next kiln firing, and so on! It’s all a labor of love.

  • The price on your package is what I paid at the post office. Shipping pottery is expensive. But we also live in the age of Prime where no one expects to see a $10-$35 shipping fee at checkout. So, I charge a fee that’s small enough to avoid deterring people and absorb the rest of the cost.

  • I don't expect this to happen because I love bubble wrap. But if your pottery gets damaged in transit, contact me within three weeks of purchase. I’ll happily refund your order, but I might ask you to email me photo evidence of the damaged goods.

  • If you broke a piece by accident, let me know. I'll give you 50% off any one piece in the same category, no questions asked.

  • I work primarily out of Clayhouse Brooklyn, a community studio in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. People ask me if I have a studio in my apartment—I wish! While my space doesn’t have room for a wheel or kiln, I do a lot of my surface decoration at home at my dining table.
