My functional ceramics may safely be used in the microwave and dishwasher. However, delicate pottery should be washed by hand.

Avoid placing ceramics directly over heat, as this can cause cracks. When using pottery in the oven, warm it gradually. Start by putting your pottery with its contents into the cold oven, then heat the oven and pottery up together.

My birdhouses can be used outside. If winters are snowy and cold like they are here in Maine, bring your birdhouse inside. Freezing temperatures can cause trapped water to crack the ceramic.

I'm always happy to answer questions about my ceramics, please feel free to contact me. Send me a message via Etsy Conversations.

Is your order a gift? Leave me note at checkout or message me via an Etsy Convo. I will lovingly wrap your present in tissue paper and colorful twine, and include a neat, handwritten message from you.

Shipping charges are estimated for each item. Though I do my best to accurately determine costs, sometimes an overcharge may occur. I will promptly refund an overage greater than $1.00, and notify you via an Etsy notification.

If shipping cost seems high, please feel free to message me and I will double-check a cost for you.

I combine shipping on multiple items. Contact me before purchasing and I will weigh these items together to get an accurate shipping cost for you. Otherwise, I will promptly refund shipping overages once I have prepared and packaged your items for shipping.

Local pick-up is available in Farmington, Maine. Use the code LOCALPICKUP at checkout, along with your preferred contact information. I'll promptly be in touch to arrange.
