Maaaybe - we can do bespoke items if it's part of a larger order, please get in touch about minimum order quantities. There is a charge for bespoke work as we need to do some experimenting in the studio to get what you're after. Flick us an email with your ideas.
Please note - we can generally only work within our range of glazes and clay bodies, if you're after something that is brand new, we can only do this if it's within our general palette.
Unfortunately we're not able to do individual one off pieces if not part of a wholesale order.
Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we have changed the workflow in the studio after having to cancel classes. That means the studio is at full capacity at the moment, so we're not able to offer in person classes at the moment.
However - there are a few at home options you can try!
HOME MAED CLAY KITS - we send you a block or two of clay, some instructions, some other bits too. There is a short video turotial for you there as well. Once you've made your work, you can bring it back to me to be fired and glazed. https://www.maeceramics.com/home-maed
DOMESTIKA - You can find a really in-depth handbuilding turtorial taught by me (Lilly) here. It takes you through how I started, my inspirations, setting up your workspace at home, making your first pieces, making an awesome final project, and finally how to fire your work, clean up, and reclaim your clay. It's well worth it. You can sign up below.

Ceramics are very hardwearing and a special piece, well taken care of, can outlive us.
Please avoid using your piece in ovens and microwaves, and if you can, handwash your piece. They can survive prolonged dishwasher use, however more care is generally taken when handwashing, and it's a less harsh environment for the glaze.
We strive to have our packaging be completely recyclable and/or compostable. Your order will come in a cardboard box, wrapped in paper tape. Inside will be shredded cardboard and tissue paper.
We keep bubblewrap, packing peanuts, sealed air etc. when it comes into the studio to use again, so if you get something that's plastic, please try and reuse it again too. Single use plastic sucks, reusing and recycling rules!
