Dinnerware Commission Form

Custom hand-built dinner plates and bowls designed in my signature sculptural style. While the forms remain true to my designs, glaze colours can be tailored to your space or aesthetic. Ideal for both individual collectors and bulk orders for restaurants or cafés seeking a distinctive table setting. Each piece is made to order, with a production time of approximately 2–3 months. Crafted for everyday use while carrying the character of an art piece.

  • Your commission start date depends on the existing studio schedule. The deposit secures your place in line, and work begins once prior commissions are completed. An estimated start and completion date will be shared when your order is confirmed.

  • 2–3 months from deposit date. Larger or more complex orders may take longer,  we’ll confirm your exact timeline during the intro call.

  • Yes. I’ll share 2-3 key updates during production (e.g., after forming, bisque firing, and final glazing). These updates are meant to keep you connected to the process without disrupting the creative flow.

  • Choice of glaze colour; sizing can be discussed during your intro call.

  • No, each is handmade and glazed individually, so there will be subtle variations in shape, texture, and glaze pooling. This variation is part of what makes your set unique while keeping it cohesive.

  • Yes, but because each piece is handmade, exact matches aren’t possible. I can create new pieces in the same glaze palette and style so they blend seamlessly with your set, but there may be slight differences in tone or texture due to natural glaze variation and changes in clay batches over time.

  • Yes, plates and bowls can be commissioned individually or in small batches. Expect small variations in handle shape, texture, and glaze pooling,  they’re part of what makes each piece one-of-a-kind.

  • Yes, worldwide. Shipping costs are calculated separately. Local pickup in Hamilton, ON is available.

  • Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and finish. Full quotes are provided in the proposal.

  • All payments are processed securely through Squarespace Payments. I accept major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay), as well as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Link. A 60% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your commission, with the remaining 40% due upon completion and before delivery or shipping.

  • No, the slow, hand-crafted process and shared kiln access mean I can’t offer rush timelines.

  • No, each piece is made by hand without molds, so slight variations in form, glaze, and texture are part of its individuality.
