Commissions

Something made just for you.

Margarita sets for your bar. Sconces and lilies for your walls. A frame made around your favourite print, dots in your exact colours, or a little gift for every wedding guest. If you can picture it in clay, let's make it together.

How it works

From your idea to your wall.

Usually 6–8 weeks from agreeing your design. You'll see it at every stage.

1

Tell me your idea

Fill in the form below. Photos, Pinterest boards and paint swatches all help.

2

Sketch and quote

I'll come back with a sketch, glaze options, a price and a date.

3

Book your slot

A 50% deposit secures your place in my making calendar.

4

I make it

Weeks of building, drying, glazing and firing. I send you progress photos along the way.

5

It's yours

Pay the balance, and it's packed with care and posted (or collected in London).

Start a commission

Tell me what you're dreaming of.

No idea is too small or too odd. I read every message myself and reply within a few working days.

"Commissions are my favourite thing to make. Someone trusts me with an idea, and I get to turn it into something they'll keep for years."

What would you like?
Rough budget

No commitment. I'll reply with a sketch and a quote.

Good questions.

How far ahead should I get in touch?

As early as you can. I take a small number of commissions each month, and most take 6–8 weeks once your design is agreed. For weddings and events, two to three months ahead is ideal.

Can you match a colour from a photo?

Usually, yes. Send a photo or a paint swatch and I'll test glazes for the closest match. Glaze shifts a little in the kiln, so I'll show you a test tile before I start.

What if I change my mind?

Changes are easy before I start making. Once your piece is made, the deposit isn't refundable, because the clay, glaze and kiln time have gone into it.

Do you ship large pieces?

Yes, double-boxed with tracking. London customers can also collect from the studio.

Is there a minimum order for events or shops?

Get in touch with your numbers and I'll tell you what's possible.
