Is there a piece you’ve been dreaming about?

I would love to make it for you.

Creating custom pieces for you is one of the most meaningful parts of being a ceramic artist.It is a joy to collaborate on making a set that fits perfectly in your home and that you will cherish forever. My hope is that they will be passed down and become a blessing to you now and the generations to come.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

Right now, you can reserve a spot for 2024. Select the month you would like your items to be finished. Scroll down to the bottom and click “Purchase”. This deposit price is the minimum for an order that also will go towards your balance if it is more than the deposit amount. Pricing is based off of materials, time and skill required for what you are looking to have made. Therefore, each order will be different.

You will receive a confirmation email, to you know you’re all set! I will then email you four months before your chosen month and we will chat further regarding your order. Photos as well as colors from your home are all helpful in creating the work, the more the better. We will work together in making your dream pieces come to life!

FAQs

What if I don’t know what size I want?

Not a problem! Do your best to describe the item and when I email you regarding your order I can suggest what I typically would do for that item.

Can I order a set?

Of course! That is what this was made for. Sets of plates, bowls, whatever you can think of! Do your best to describe each item and how many you want.

What if I don’t know what color of glaze I want?

As far as colors go, that is just to get us heading in the right direction. We may have to search out a glaze to get us as close to the color you’re looking for as we can. Ceramic glaze can be tricky but I am confident we will find something you love.

Can I send anything I see online as my inspiration photo?

Absolutely. Of course, my hands and the way I work will end up being different from what you send. However, it is helpful to see what you have in mind and work from what the item is and create my own version of it. There is no copying in ceramics because everyone’s hands are different. If you want something exactly the same as a photo you see, I will not be able to do that.

What if what I want doesn’t add up to $200?

$200 is the minimum price to put a commission order in. If you are looking for a singular item I will be having drops throughout the year. Signing up for my email list is the best way to find out about those.

When is the remaining balance due?

The $200 will be put towards your order to get it started. If your order is over $200, the remaining balance will be due at the time the order is ready. Shipping costs will also be applied at this time as the shipping cost cannot be apart of the $200 deposit.

Where do I send inspiration photos?

You can send them directly to me, Lauren@lo-fire.com at your convenience.

Any other questions, don’t hesitate to email me!

Thank you, I look forward to working with you!
