MY FAITH
I am a Christian & all packages will come with bible verses & special little gifts! It is something to consider if you’d like to purchase any items from my shop.
My goal is for my pottery to reach every country in the world, through my faith and love, even though I may never set foot in most countries that my pottery travels to.
I do not have any intentions of offending anyone, but I also feel a strong sense of conviction NOT to change who I am, what i am divinely inspired to put in my packages for my buyers, or my mission statement— as I find a lot of inspiration, peace, and love through my faith and making pottery. I truly hope every person I come across in my daily life, or through my shop feel some of that positivity too! ❤️
Thank you for visiting my shop, understanding, & respecting my faith and ministry ❤️
WHEN IS THE NEXT SHOP UPDATE?
My shop updates happen around every 6-8 weeks as I sporadically finish my pieces... My work is released in small batches of 20-30 pieces, & pottery is my hobby. I work a full time career so anything released is what I've done in my spare time...Typically very very early in the mornings.
Usually new collection pieces in my shop sell out within the first 30min. (You guys are amazing & thank you!)
In order to keep everything fair, since i cannot create enough high demand pieces to stay in stock, i do not hold or allow buyers to pay upfront before a restock. If you have your eyes on something special please sign up for emails to become a VIP, as subscribers will get notification on when shop restocks will be...(link is in my Instagram bio!)
PRICING
Mug prices can range from $30-$120+ I know that’s a pretty big jump but...Pricing is determined by many factors:
-Materials/Equipment used (potters wheel, kilns, clay, glazes, etc— these tools are VERY expensive and take time to learn how to use and work)
-The amount of time/hours invested per each piece (was it hand painted? Was does it have a lot of detail?)
-Utilities and energy required to fire each piece 2-3 times each
-Extra add-ons like 22k gold or other hand painted designs/decorations etc...
-Most of my work has a base price, then a few dollars are added or taken away for special qualities. That's why you see such specific dollar amounts.
WHAT ARE PRE ORDERS?
I do random pre orders usually AFTER the restock and a seperate email will go out as notification/reminder for a specific type of piece...A preorder is when the piece you’d like to purchase is not made yet and will be in the process of being created in the coming weeks! The piece you’ll be receiving is going to be selected at random when the batch is completed. I usually do these in small groups announced in my instagram stories and my feed...
So you purchasing in advance is your way of securing your special & unique item just for you... it may take a few weeks, so i thank you for your patience in advance ❤️ it’s being made with love! Keep in mind that the pictures shown WILL not reflect exactly what you get... my handmade and hand painted ceramics each mug/vessel comes out unique and different.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Please know: This is my hobby so when you purchase a preorder it could take anywhere from 6-8 weeks (possibly sooner) I will let you know. Each piece I create is handmade, one of a kind, and unique in it’s very own way...
I know handmade pottery is a big investment and a luxury, so please understand you aren't just buying a mug for coffee, you're purchasing a usable work of art that took 6-12 hours to turn from a chunk of clay to a marvelous creation! All orders must be paid for in full through the Etsy listing, and i do not do custom or commissioned work.
In the shipping area when you pay, it will show you the processing time... again, preorders are still being made, so it’s a longer processing time for me to actually make it!...If you’re just choosing a listing that is completed it will show you how many days for processing/shipping. I try to get all completed orders shipped within 5-10 business days. Keep in mind, I’m a one woman show here
SHIPPING
Price of shipping can range from $9-$29 depending on how far your piece is being shipped to (international rates +++), also how many pieces you are ordering (because it goes by weight)...
Etsy is amazing and should be able to calculate this for you. I do try to combine shipping and refund any overages when possible, if this is something you would like for me to try and do, PLEASE indicate in the notes when you order, that you have purchased or are purchasing multiple pieces separately. However, because each item is uniquely shaped, there are times i will not be able to fit multiple items in one box, and therefore shipping cannot be combined/refunded. I am more concerned with you receiving your luxurious pieces safely, than issuing a small refund of $3-$4! The refund is not worth the saftey of your piece!
PICK UP
If you’re in Long Island, NY or Queens/Brooklyn (Or hey maybe you want to take a road trip!) you do have the option to pick up. Please use this coupon code for pickup orders ONLY as it requires different packaging & we will even get to meet ! Yay!picking up coupon:
PICKINGUP
Please don't use the coupon if you aren't going to come and get your piece... understand, that if you choose pick up, & request the coupon code, & and DONT communicate with me & do not pick up within 14 days after purchase, your piece will most likely be resold— i don’t have shelving space for holding pieces! Sorry! So please stay in communication with me if you are going to be picking up! Thank you in advance ❤️
CUSTOM AND PERSONALIZED ORDERS
Unfortunately at this time, I do not take any customs, commissions, or special orders. Thank you for loving my work however custom work takes much more effort to start a new design, more creativity and a heck of a lot more time and at the moment i cannot commit to it.
As an artist i strive for each person who gets one of my pieces to LOVEEEE it and when i make customs it’s a lot more challenging to get the idea in your head exactly on my piece
With all due respect please don’t ask because then i will feel bad for saying no and i don’t want to be put in that position.
thank you so much for understanding ❤️
