Every ceramic piece is carefully created from start to finish
in our Tucson studio. We cast each piece, clean and prepare the greenware, kiln-fire it to bisque, hand-paint every detail, and complete the finishing process with the same care and attention we would give something made for our own family. We also create beautiful fused glass designs, carefully layering and firing glass in our kiln to produce colorful, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Because each item is handmade, no two pieces are exactly alike. Those subtle variations are part of what makes handcrafted art so special.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use high-quality earthenware CONE 04 slip and clay for our castings and hand building pieces. Lead-free glazes on our finished ceramics pieces.

Our kiln-fused glass pieces are made from COE 90 compatible glass, carefully selected for color and texture.

There are two ways to finish a piece of bisque depending on the desired effect and intended purpose for your project.

  • You can utilize acrylic paints and sealed with an acrylic sealer, both can be found at any local craft store.

  • You can utilize cone 06 (low fire) glazes however you will need a kiln to fire your piece again to allow the glaze to melt into your project.

Absolutely! We love creating custom pieces. Whether you're looking for a specific color palette, size, or design, we're happy to work with you. Custom orders typically take 4-8 weeks to complete. Please contact us to discuss your vision and receive a quote.

We try to be as efficient as possible with casting and firing times. While it typically only takes a couple weeks, it CAN take up to 4-6 weeks to have your piece(s) ready for shipment. Everything is dependent on the weather and our casting load/time of the year. Holidays typically get busy so always best to order as early in the season as possible.

If you are hoping it will be done quicker, you are welcome to message us to see if we have the piece already in bisque and ready for shipment as we do sometimes have the popular pieces ready to go depending on the time of year.
