A picture really does not do this piece justice. It's definitely a jaw dropper. Very glad to have found this. One of the most unique pieces I have ever found . It is dazzling ! Such creative genius and passion put in this piece of art. My husband was enamoured. My daughter will be amazed with it as it is a gift for her. Very pleased with this purchase. Great packing and fast shipping. Will definitely be a repeat customer 😁

I make everything by hand, no molds which means every piece is slightly different and has it's own character.

Every tiny detail is handmade by me!

Care instructions and how this all started :)

Care instructions:
- All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe unless otherwise stated in the listing details. If there are resin encasements, gold or glass elements DO NOT microwave or put them in the dishwasher. I have personally put items with glass bottoms and gold luster in the dishwasher but it is not recommended (but yes they survive and do fine in my experience).
- Dishes with glass bottoms are not recommended for food serving because bacteria can get trapped in-between the little cracks. Dry food is technically okay but be aware that sanitizing them might be difficult. I don't advertise anything with a glass bottom as a food serving vessel but I know people might use them for that.
- Resin trays can be used for charcuterie or other food serving but they are NOT dishwasher or microwave safe. It is also recommended that they not be left in direct sunlight but if they are and they warp, it is easy to get the original shape back simply by leaving it on a flat surface.

How it started
I started working with clay in 2014 at a community studio shortly after graduating high school. I then took a class in college and ended up being a lab tech for the ceramics department. Needless to say, I was always in the studio throughout college either because I was working or I was taking a class. I quickly became addicted and my decorative ideas spiraled from carvings, to flowers, to mushrooms, to fish, to giraffes and more! After I started drowning in pots, I started my shop while storing my inventory under my dorm bed. Now days, I make pots and now resin pieces on the side of my regular day job. I currently work out of my garage and a community studio nearby.

The Process -
I take a lot of time and care when creating my ceramic pieces. Adding details and hand built elements can take any where form 45 minutes to 2 hours on average. I don't use molds and everything is just made by hand. The actual process of ceramics is quite lengthy. When making a mug, it's first thrown on the wheel, then it needs to dry a bit (like 3 days under plastic), then a foot ring can be trimmed on the bottom, then the handle and finally details can be added. Before the bisque firing (1,945 F), the piece needs to dry completely to avoid cracks and explosions while firing which can take about a week depending on the weather. After that, the piece can be glazed and then glaze fired at a higher temperature. All of my pieces are stoneware and they are fired to cone 5 (about 2,167 F) or cone 10 (2,345 F). When adding lusters or decals, a third firing is required because those must be done at a much lower temperature. So in short, ceramics requires a lot of patience!

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

I'm currently working in a community studio and customs and personalized items can take up to 6 weeks from start to finish. I prefer not to do them because many of the glaze combos I use vary in color on almost every piece and it is hard to guarantee a color unless only one glaze is used. If you like surprises then it's perfect!

Wholesale availability

I am not able to do wholesale at this time as I am working out of a community studio.
