This is a handmade item. Each piece is a labour of craftsmanship and love, each is slightly different to any other piece and all will contain small imperfections, as is normal with any handmade craft.

I use stoneware clay and the items are generally pretty tough. If you want to preserve the life of your item, treat it with tender loving care. All will break if you drop them onto a hard surface.

Process: I make each item myself out of wet clay. I either turn it on the wheel, or hand build it. Some items such as mugs are both wheel thrown, with hand built elements like a handle. When the clay is slightly dry, I trim it, then it dries out ready for its first firing – the bisque firing to approx. 1000C. After that has cooled, I sand and wash the pieces, then glaze and decorate them carefully, which takes forever. Then they go back in the kiln to approx. 1210C. Once they have cooled, I sand them, wipe them down and photograph and measure the piece. Then I load it up on Instagram or the website shop.

Returns and breakages: I wrap and package everything super carefully, but accidents do happen and if your item arrives broken, please photograph it with its packaging from a few angles, and contact me immediately, this allows me to take up a claim with the Post Office or courier. If you think your item has a major defect and is unusable, please take photographs and contact me as soon as possible after it arrives.
