I have an idea, how do I get started?
Send us an email and tell us about your idea. We will have a conversation, in person, if possible, to discuss whether or not this is a project we are able to take on. Factors that influence our ability are the current workload we are attending to, the scale of your project (is it a small dinner service or 1,000 mugs), and do we feel the desired design is one we can fulfill to our highest standards.

Is there any special fee for commissioned work?
We do not charge different prices for commissioned works on our standard inventory unless there are design elements that will require us to experiment to achieve the finished project. We will be upfront about these extra costs, as long as we know about them ahead of time.

What is the payment schedule for commission work?
After our initial discussion, if both parties feel it's a good fit to work together, we will require a non-refundable deposit of $75. This money allows us to devote our full energy to creating an initial fun of samples while we work as a team to finalize the design. This deposit covers hours, clay, and glaze materials. This deposit will count toward your final bill.
The final bill will be due upon completion, before delivery/pick up, and will include the shipping costs, if applicable.

How long will it take to design and complete my work?
Customized designs do take quite a while, sometimes as long as 6 months, depending on how big the order is, how much is in the queue ahead of you, and how much Amanda needs to figure out to fulfill the design. A set of our standard cereal bowls with a new, just for you glaze pattern doesn't necessarily take as long as a set of custom-shaped bowls with a hand-painted design, for instance.
