How I work
A small studio, made by one pair of hands.
If you've landed here and most things say "sold out," you haven't missed anything strange. Here's some little more information.

Questions I get a lot
Every piece is made by me in small batches. There's no warehouse of finished stock, just a handful of pieces at a time, shaped and fired one by one. That's exactly why things can disappear within hours of a restock.
Roughly once or twice a month, not on a fixed schedule. I always give a heads up beforehand though, so it's never a total surprise. The easiest way to catch it: tap "notify me" on any sold-out piece, and you'll hear the moment it's back or check out my Instagram @ceramicsisa.
Sometimes, yes, but only on request and in limited numbers. A custom piece takes real one-on-one time, so I can't say yes to everyone. If you have something in mind, reach out and I'll tell you honestly whether it's something I can take on right now.
Probably not, and that's on purpose. Read on, this is where it gets personal hehe
A little context ♡
Alongside the studio, I also work as a nurse. That's not a footnote, it's the actual reason this shop looks the way it does. I make ceramics in the hours I have around my shifts, which means I can't produce hundreds of pieces a month, and I can't always say yes to every request. What I can do is keep making things carefully, at a pace that doesn't burn me out, so quality never has to slip just to keep up. So when you see "sold out," you're really seeing someone's actual, limited hours, not a marketing tactic.
What this means, in practice
Real, small batches
No mass production hiding behind "handmade." What you see is genuinely all there is.
Notice before drops
Restocks are never a total surprise if you're signed up to be notified.
Honest custom requests
If I can't take on your idea right now, I'll say so, instead of leaving you waiting.
A person, not a factory
Every message, order and piece genuinely passes through my hands, not a team's.
