Collaborating to Create Bespoke Heirlooms
Whether you’re looking to customize an existing design or create something entirely new, we’re thrilled to partner with you in crafting the perfect piece.
Considerations
- Due to the limitations of small batch pottery production, we can only accommodate custom pieces made in the clay body currently in production. Exceptions may be made for large orders.
- Please sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Instagram for notifications about what clay body is currently in production and when we anticipate changing over.
- We are currently accepting commissions for the Ripple series (white stoneware marbled with colored clay). Please see below for more information on that technique and how it can be customized.
- Most custom orders take 6-8 weeks once the final design is approved and the deposit has been paid.
- All sales are final with custom pieces.
- The customer is responsible for cost of shipping to be determined upon completion of the order.
- Discounts, including trade, cannot be applied to custom orders.
Neriage 練上げ
Neriage (pronounced nair-ee-ah-gee) is a derivative of Nerikomi 練り込み - a technique for creating pottery in multiple colors of clay. Neriage is specifically the technique of using multiple colors of clay on the wheel to create a marbled effect.
Clay is colored by adding stains to the clay and then mixed by hand. This creates unique shades and colors bespoke to its specific batch.
Colors are customizable, as well as, how much is used to create a minimal or maximal effect.
