Will there be imperfections with the pieces?
each piece is handmade, so minor imperfections or unique characteristics may be present, which adds to their charm compared to mass-produced items. I strive to represent colors accurately in my photographs, but slight variations may occur due to different screen settings. If you have any questions about a specific item, feel free to contact me for more details.
Do you ship outside of New Zealand?
Yes, I do! I will provide you a separate quote upon check out. I ship via NZ Post /Fedex or DHL. I am sure you can check shipping prices from New Zealand to your country. Also please be patient with me since i am a one woman band with a 7 month old baby and a busy 8 year old.
How long will it take before you ship my purchase?
it would normally take 5 business days both locally and internationally. Please be patient. I will send you your tracking number once item is picked up.
What if my item is damaged during shipment?
please contact me immediately within 24 hours and provide pictures of the broken item including the packaging. I am not responsible for lost or stolen items. You will be responsible to resolve with the carrier.
Are your pieces food safe?
Stoneware pieces are more durable than earthenware, but I still recommend hand washing to ensure their longevity and maintain their finish. While many stoneware items are technically dishwasher-safe, repeated exposure to high heat and strong detergents can wear down glazes or cause subtle damage over time. To preserve the quality and longevity of your earthenware made ceramic pieces, I recommend hand washing them. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can compromise their finish and durability over time.
How should I care for them?
while they are dishwasher safe, I strongly recommend gentle hand washing to preserve their quality. When using in the oven, avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving directly from the fridge to the oven or vice versa.
I can't make it for my class, can I ask for a refund?
please note that all class fees are non-refundable, regardless of the reason for cancellation or absence. By enrolling, you agree to this policy. I encourage students to carefully consider their schedules and commitment before booking a class. In exceptional circumstances, we may offer rescheduling options, but refunds will not be provided.
