Thanks for being here!
I love bright color, patterning and texture on my whimsical creations.
I make cheerful, handmade coffee mugs, stoneware kitchenware, fun serving sets, and fun sculptural art items.
All functional items are microwave and dishwasher-safe, and of course, lead-free.

Even when I should be sleeping:)
Most items listed are available in any pattern/combo seen within my site, most patterns/glazes are interchangeable, and new stock is always coming out of the kiln.
Please allow a firm two weeks for delivery, unless we've agreed otherwise through Etsy-hosted messages.
Any orders placed after Dec.12th will NOT make it by Christmas...but New Years presents are great, too! :)
Thanks for the love! ~~Alissa

5 out of 5 starsGot here too late for mothers day as the artist has an extremely high demand I think but very beautiful heavy sturdy stoneware and I think they will enjoy them very much. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsI got a large, beautiful mug from Alissa. It’s very well made, and the design is exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely buy from her again-

5 out of 5 starsI discovered Alissa Clark’s work when I lived in Bend Oregon, at the annual pottery sale. Amongst all the look-alike mugs turned on a wheel, her design, slab-built work, with fresh image, color, and texture just sang to me. Every year, I was excited to add another mug. First the heart mug, then the handyman’s tools, Day of the Dead bride and groom (got broken at work) have now welcomed the monkey mug. I’m so glad to find Alissa Clark on Etsy!

Happy chief mud-slinger of my own clay empire
I have a B.F.A. from Northen Arizona University, where I had three amazing professors (Paula Rice, Ellen Tibbets and Don Bendel ).
Each was amazingly encouraging to me, especially the ladies.
Coming from a background (but not an upbringing) of ladies in the arts, I knew I wanted to take my art further as a career.
After having my fabulous son (who is now a college sophomore), I enrolled with Aurore Chabot, a much-admired clay sculptor/architect wizard at the University of Arizona in Tucson. SO worth it !
After my M.F.A. graduation, I taught at Portland Community College part-time, I sold at Portland Saturday Market, Lithia Artisans Market in Ashland, and managed Ashland Art Center Clay Studio full-time (each official job for five years- funny) !
I have learned that I best like working for myself, and making my own hours and deadlines (and, before a show deadline, always my very own timeline crisis. It's important to lose sleep to gain perspective).
I do own a gallery/studio/classroom where we have scheduled clay classes and I have had to learn the sometimes tricky art of maintaining business hours, but I am overwhelmingly grateful for the independence and autonomy this artist life affords me.
I love my job ! And I hope you love my creations.
Big smiles from the Oregon dunes,

Returns and exchange details
If your item arrives damaged please contact me immediately by sending a digital picture of the damaged piece to my contact link here and I will make and send you a replacement. If the item arrives and is not as described in the item description it can be returned for a refund or exchanged for something else within 5 days. There are no returns on custom items.

Payment
Shipping
Please provide a clear shipping address with your order.
For shipping within the US, I use USPS priority mail .
I do ship internationally-however, international shipping can get really pricey because of the weight of the ceramics.
I try to ship first class international whenever possible to keep the shipping costs down, but packages over 4 pounds must be shipped using international priority mail. It’s not my rule, it’s USPS!
International customers are responsible for all fees, taxes, and duties/custom charges associated with shipping to their respective countries. I am not responsible for breakage that occurs because of customs checks.
Be assured that your pottery will be packed very carefully and should arrive safely!
Additional policies and FAQs
I do wholesale mugs...please inquire!:)

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes! I happily make them, but they have to be within my reasonable artistic parameters. So, not so much into a customized ash tray for Grandma or a doggie dish for Humphrey the wonder terrier, as I’d rather forward my own vision of clay art.
Gift wrapping and packaging
There is an additional gift wrapping listing for $5.
All gift wrapping from my shop is thematic free and at artists creative direction/discretion.
Wholesale availability
I do wholesale orders... please contact me to discuss further.
