FAQs

Can I order something custom made?

Yes! I’m always happy to explore custom designs - especially if you’re drawn to my style. I don’t copy other artists’ work or Pinterest finds, but I love working with ideas and creating designs that align with my aesthetic. Feel free to share inspirations photos with me but please don’t expect me to copy paste - I will always aim to add my own personal touch to your custom order.

Is there anything you don’t do?

I don’t replicate other artists’ work, and I don’t take on handbuilt commissions. My focus is on wheel-thrown ceramics because it’s where I feel most at home and where I believe my craftsmanship shines. This means my style leans toward refined shapes and clean lines. If you’re looking for something with a more rustic, organic feel that handbuilt ceramics can give you, I might not be the right fit, and that’s okay.

We’ll figure out if we’re the right match once I get back to you. So don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to hear what you have in mind.

How long does it take?

Since it’s just me handling everything from creating to shipping, custom orders usually take around 4–6 weeks from the time I receive your upfront payment. Handmade ceramics take time, but it’s worth the wait.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the design, complexity, material and quantity, but I’ll always send you a clear quote before we begin. Each piece is handmade from quality materials and crafted with care - no shortcuts here.

Do you make large batches?

I work in small batches (up to 100 pieces as a rule of thumb) to make sure each piece gets the attention it deserves. I’m not a production line - and I like it that way :). If you’re after a one-off piece, feel free to reach out. In case you need a little more than 100 pieces - feel free to reach out anyways - I might just need more time.

Do you offer a prototype or sample first?

If we're working on a completely new design - especially for a restaurant or a larger order - I highly recommend starting with a prototype. It’s the best way to align expectations and fine-tune the design before I move into full production. Expect approximately 1-2 weeks to make a prototype. I need to charge a standard fee of 200 AED for the prototype, as it requires both time and materials on my end - and in case you decide not to move forward, it ensures I’m not at a loss.

Do you offer custom logos or branding?

Yes, I do! I enjoy playing with subtle embossing and glazed logos - especially for restaurants or special commissions. Let me know what you have in mind.

How does shipping or pickup work?

I offer worldwide shipping and studio pickups in Dubai. For larger local orders, I may also be able to deliver myself - just ask.

How does the process work?

Here’s what you can expect after reaching out:

  1. You send me a message via the contact form with your idea.

  2. We chat! I’ll follow up with any questions and we align on a direction.

  3. I send you a quote based on your request.

  4. If it’s a new or complex design, I’ll recommend we start with a prototype to test the shape, size, or glaze.

  5. You confirm and pay the full amount upfront.

  6. I begin making your order

  7. 4–6 weeks later, your custom order is ready for pickup or delivery!
