FAQs

Do you sell online?

I am currently only selling at in-person markets in the Bloomington, IN area.
If there is something you are interested in, I am happy to send photos of my current stock and arrange for a drop-off or discuss shipping options with you.

Are your ceramic pieces safe for dishwasher / microwave / oven?

  • Dishwasher: Generally, yes. All of the pottery that I make has been tested and is dishwasher safe. However, dishwashers can be tough on handmade items, so it is recommended that you hand-wash all items! Hand washing will help protect the pottery and make sure you can enjoy it for years to come!

  • Microwave: Yes - they are microwave safe. Please use caution with items that do not have handles - such as a tumbler - as they may be too hot to handle out of the microwave.

  • Oven: I do not recommend using my items in the oven. The advice that I have received from my clay manufacturer is that my clay is not specifically made for bakeware. Should you use my pottery in the oven, it is recommended to preheat the piece in the oven.

My item broke! Will you fix it for free?!

Once you purchase an item from me, it becomes your property. If an item is broken, fixing it with something like superglue is not something I would recommend - especially if that item is being used for food or to hold water (like a vase). That being said - I’ve broken my most cherished mug, and it now sits happily on my desk - held together with superglue - and holds pens and pencils :)

If an item should break through no fault of your own, please contact me via email with a photo of the item, and I will work something out with you on a case-by-case basis.

Why are your “Misfits” discounted?

In short - there is nothing “wrong” with Misfit items that would impact their integrity or safety. I price Misfit pieces for a variety of reasons including glaze defects on the outside of the piece. At the end of a season, I may discount designs or colors that I’ve made too many of in order to make room for new inventory.

Please know that I carefully inspect every piece that I sell and do not sell items with a known chip, crack, or other flaw that would impact longevity or safety.
