Ceramics and Theory pieces are made without lead. In the US, lead has
been pretty rigorously eliminated from the studio pottery industry.
Shit, something broke in the mail. How d'you want me to handle this?
Listen, we've got a couple options if something arrives to you
damaged. Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us
immediately if the item is damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so
that we can figure out how to make it right. Send a quick pic of the
damage please!
For pieces that are made to be similar (i.e. fuck cups, etc.) we will
ship the same product. For one-off pieces (i.e. Pep Talk) you will have
the option for me to make a similar piece or select another piece. For
extra special pieces (e.g. Pep Talk, Group Chat) you will also
have the option for a refund. Pieces may take approximately 4 weeks
to ship.
ceramics and theory pieces are not returnable.
What kind of clay do you use, bruh?
I use a very fancy grolleg porcelain because I like the fine grain
for carving / writing, and it is breathtakingly translucent because I
throw it very thin.
Oh, you mean in my hair? My barber recommended a stiff clay called layrite.
Mmhmm I see, and how do you fire it?
I don't fire my hair, but they clay goes to cone 10 (about 2345 degrees F) in an electric kiln (i know i know.)
Why do they call it "throwing" anyway?
Well, I heard on the British Pottery Throw Down that "throw" and
"turn" had the same Olde English root word, so basically it still comes
from Turning.
Lemme get ahold of you one of these days.
