Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you only ship in Europe?
I currently only ship within Europe because I believe in supporting local makers and reducing environmental impact. Shipping ceramics internationally also increases the risk of damage, and I cannot always guarantee replacements for breakages caused during transport. On top of that, shipping costs are often very high.
Are your products handmade?
Yes. All my products are handmade, which means every piece is slightly different and not perfectly identical.
Stickers and postcards are printed by a company in the Netherlands.
Why do you use drops for your ceramics?
I work in batches because I need to fill an entire kiln for each firing. It’s more energy-efficient to fire a full kiln, so I avoid wasting unnecessary energy.
Each piece takes time to make. After that it needs about two weeks to dry before going into the bisque kiln. Then it gets painted (the most time-consuming step), glazed and fired again. This process needs to be repeated for many pieces, which is why production takes time.
Because I’m still a student, the full process usually takes around three months before a piece is finished.
If you want to know when a new drop is coming, you can sign up for my newsletter or follow me on social media for updates.
Are your ceramics dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes, they are!
Are your pieces food safe?
They are!
Do you restock items?
Some designs return, but many pieces are one-of-a-kind. Because everything is handmade, no restock is ever exactly the same. Follow me on Instagram or sign up for updates to stay informed about new drops.
Do you take custom orders or commissions?
Yes. With each drop, I open a limited number of commission slots.
Please note that commissions are more expensive than standard pieces, as the price depends on the design, complexity, and requested drawings. Because of this, I don’t list fixed prices here.
More information can be found on the commission page. Availability is not tied to fixed dates, but I will announce openings via my newsletter and Instagram.
Is your work sustainable?
Ceramics is not the most environmentally friendly craft, but I try to reduce my impact where possible. I reuse clay whenever pieces don’t make it to the final stage, and I repair broken ceramics using kintsugi techniques when possible. I also try to fire my kiln on sunny days so they use the energy of solar panels.
All packaging materials are reused whenever possible. I encourage you to reuse them as well. These pieces are made to last, so please take good care of them.
