Yes, selectively and with a few caveats. I am open to commissions if the fit is right and I have the time to complete it for you.  Fill out my contact form to inquire.

Contact me via email with the word ‘Commission’ somewhere in the subject, or using the form on this website. Please include (1) your budget, (2) your timeline, (3) your location, (4) a description of what you would like, the more details the better (size, volume, colour, weight or feel, shape, decoration), (5) pictures. Photos can be of anything that you would like to inspire the piece, maybe with a note about what speaks to you.

This depends! A basic mug with a handle starts at 35$+ shipping. If I need to formulate, mix, test, and use a specific glaze to bring your vision to life the cost may increase. Costs will also increase if there are significant sculptural or decorative elements requiring a larger time commitment. My table top lamps start at $150.00. Commission costs will be negotiated between myself and the customer before the work begins.

Grief work (incorporating cremated remains (ashes), clips of fabric, hair, metal) into pottery. I can incorporate it into the raw clay, add it during the glazing process, or after the firing process. I have made ornaments, window hangings, beads for jewelry, mugs, buttons for a special sweater or blanket, plant pots, and urns).Lamps or unusual functional pieces like small-medium sized sinks, house numbers, creative vases.Note: I am currently working to get my lamps and clocks ESA certified and they will be available for sale once this process is complete.

6 weeks (typically). Please be advised that there are many steps in the creation of a piece of pottery and artists are beholden to external variables like humidity, firing schedules and times, unexpected aresults , and unusual or complex pieces may take up to 8-10 weeks to complete. My minimum time for completion of a commission is 5 weeks from the date of deposit.

Yes, selectively. Reach out by email or by using my form with a proposal!I have traded pottery commissions of all sizes and private pottery lessons for tattoos by artists whose style aligns with mine, personal services (RMT etc.), lessons from other artisans, makers, or athletes, short vacation stays, other art pieces when there is alignment.

No. You can try to use epoxy resin (wearing gloves and a mask) to repair it at home, but it will no longer be food safe.  Kintsugi, is not something I do and real kintsugi (not done with epoxy resin) is done by very few practitioners. There are some artists that do this.   What I CAN do is encourage you to post photos of the piece and the makers mark (signature on the bottom) on a regional facebook group or reddit thread where you might be able to find the original artist. In certain cases, I may be able to make you a new pot incorporating the things you love about the broken one. I will not copy another artists work, however.

Yes! I have a small table top wheel that I can bring to your home to provide you with a private pottery lesson. I accept some private students that I have already met, or that I share mutual acquaintances with.   Costs depend on location of the student, length and type of class desired. I am comfortable teaching total beginners, and career potters looking for technique troubleshooting.

Yes. I seldom use commercial glazes but I am always happy to tell you what they are if I have used one. I am happy to send you the glaze recipes I use, or at the very least the place I got the recipe if I no longer have the recipe in my notebook. Occasionally I sell an older piece made at a studio that protects their recipes, if this is the case I can suggest a close equivalent.
