FAQ
This is a compilation of answers to questions I commonly receive. Please feel free to contact me if your question isn’t answered here or just to say hi!
***
Where can I buy your pots?
The following are links to galleries I frequently send work to:
From time to time I will conduct online sales from my website. Signing up for my newsletter is the best way to hear about these events. My upcoming exhibition and show schedules are also posted on my events page.
Can I place a special order?
It never hurts to ask, but I can’t always say yes. My process is slow and detail driven. Because of that my making schedule is usually planned far in advance to meet show deadlines. If I can work a special request into my current making cycle, I will. Regrettably, I don’t always have the flexibility.
I keep missing out on your work. Do you have any tips for navigating online sales?
If an online sale offers a preview, be sure and check it out to see what pieces you are interested in purchasing. If you need to create a login on the gallery website or the payment platform (for example I use Paypal on my website), be sure to do that and login at least five minutes prior to the start of the sale.
Consider joining gallery newsletters and let the staff know that you are interested in hearing when my work comes in to the gallery. All of the galleries I work with are happy to assist you and keep you in the loop!
Many online sales platforms don’t hold items in your cart, so it’s advisable to complete purchases on piece at a time, so they aren’t bought out from under you.
I’d like to know about your process. Do you teach workshops?
Yes! If you are interested in participating in a workshop, please check my events page for upcoming classes. If you would like to host me for a workshop at your school, university, or art center, please contact me directly for rates and availability for online or in person (post-pandemic) engagements.
Are the pots in your gallery for sale?
The images in the gallery are from previous sales and exhibitions. The pots have already found homes.
Do you offer internships?
Yes! I offer an Internship that runs from 6 months – 2 years. I am not seeking applications at this time, but feel free to contact me directly if you have questions or are interested in learning more about future timelines and application processes.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! Please know that the buyer pays shipping costs and any import taxes. My webshop is designed to charge a flat fee of $50 per piece for international shipping. I will do my best to give international customers as accurate and economical shipping options as possible. If the shipping is less than the flat fee charged I will reimburse the buyer. If the shipping cost is more, I will invoice the buyer for the difference. Thank you for your understanding!
Can I put your pots in the oven? The microwave? Dishwasher?
To maximize their lifespan, I do not recommend putting my pots in the microwave or dishwasher. It is fine to gently warm plates in the oven (no higher than 150 degrees F). Certain pots, i.e. pie plates, can be used in the oven, however these pieces will come with specific instructions. My pots should NEVER be used on the stovetop or over an open flame!
