## About Custom Mugs, Tumblers & Jars

When you commission a custom mug or jar, it is a real partnership. You share your vision with me—whether it is a specific bird motif, a pet portrait, or just a color scheme that makes you happy—and I shape it by hand. Because every single piece is thrown on the wheel or pinched, it will have unique, honest quirks. If you are looking for factory uniformity, this is not it. If you want a piece with soul, built to last and made to hold your favorite tea or kitchen staples, I would love to create it for you.

### Why handmade matters
My process starts with high-fire stoneware clay. Whether I am using the wheel for consistent shapes or hand-pinching for that rustic, organic feel, each piece spends time in my kiln at 1200 degrees Celsius to ensure it is durable and food-safe. 

### The design process
I love working with techniques like Sgraffito to carve intricate designs—like my signature owls, birds, or custom pet faces—directly into the clay. For glazing, I experiment with splash glazes, gradients, and matte finishes to make sure your piece is truly yours.

### What to keep in mind
* **Timeline:** Since I am working with clay, please allow 2 to 3 weeks. The clay needs to dry slowly, and the double-firing process cannot be rushed.
* **Safety:** Everything I make is lead-free and food-safe. Your mugs and jars are designed for daily use and are microwave safe.
* **Customization:** From wide-brim mugs to lidded jars with a tight seal, we can figure out the dimensions that fit your lifestyle. Just let me know what you need during our chat.
