Commissions
What better gift than one made just for that special person - tailored to their personality or interests? Although who deserves it more than you!Get creative and work with me to design a truly one off present that can't be found anywhere else for that special friend, family member or yourself.
Peruse the many glaze testers and find that ‘wow’ colour you know they will love. Include a design element that will be unique and raise a knowing smile!

Pieces are individually priced according to build time, size and chosen finish. I try to give an indicative price ‘range’ when responding to your initial enquiry.

A timeline for each commission is agreed with the customer at the design stage. Generally though, I hope to be able to deliver commission pieces within 3 weeks.
Once built each piece requires at least a week for drying, a three day bisque firing and final glaze firing to make it fully vitrified. I'm sure you can appreciate it is hard to rush this process. As a result, last minute requests of under 3 weeks are unlikely to be achievable.

FAQs
Do you take a deposit?Yes half of the Commission cost is paid up front. This is non refundable unless I am unable to complete the commission.

How big can a sculpture be?My kiln shelves are 34 cm wide and height is 40 cm so I can create pieces of any size within this space.
