Custom and personalized orders
I am currently not accepting custom order requests, reservations for pieces, or maintaining a waiting list. The items featured in my shop updates represent the extent of what is currently available for purchase.
Wholesale availability
I regret to inform you that I am unable to accommodate wholesale accounts at this time. To those who own shops and express interest in my work, I sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm. However, I am thoroughly enjoying the autonomy of selling my creations independently and, regrettably, must decline any wholesale inquiries. Thank you for your understanding and interest nonetheless. :)
Can I reserve a piece?
In an effort to maintain fairness, I announce upcoming shop updates on Instagram and various social media platforms three to four days ahead of the scheduled sale. Subscribers on my Instagram account receive exclusive access to my collections during the initial release. Please note that I am unable to reserve pieces for individuals, as sales operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
How much are your pieces?
All of my pieces are functional sculptures that take many hours to complete.
The price range depends on size, time spent making and how much gold or other extra processes I have applied to the piece. I use premium 22kt gold on all of my work.
Do you ship worldwide?
I ship worldwide and pack everything very carefully!
Buyers are responsible for all customs and import fees.
Every time I go to your shop it says it's empty? Are you sold out?
Yes I am sold out. I release my work in small batches. I tend to sell out very quickly (5 min or less). My shop sits empty more often than not. Fear not! More items are always being made!
I announce the time and date of shop updates across all social media platforms but my instagram subscribers always get first pick! If you are seeing items marked as sold out, chances are the subscribers on Instagram have already had their pick.
I'm coming to Portland! Can I visit your studio and buy something while I'm in town?
My artistic process typically spans 6-8 weeks. While I may occasionally have items available for purchase when you're in town, I won't have prior knowledge of their availability. Your best approach would be to inquire during your visit.
Operating out of my home studio, I don't adhere to set "open" hours. Visits are exclusively accommodated by appointment, and I warmly welcome the opportunity to meet you in person. If you find yourself in town within that brief window after the pieces are finished, there's a good chance you can acquire something. Feel free to reach out to me when you're in town, and I'll do my best to accommodate your visit. Looking forward to the possibility of meeting you!
Are your pieces microwave or dishwasher safe?
No! Please refrain from microwaving any of my creations, as they contain 22kt gold—a metal that is not microwave-safe. The interaction between metal and microwaves can lead to undesirable outcomes. As for dishwashing, I strongly discourage using a dishwasher for my pieces. Handwashing is a gentler alternative, especially for the functional items I create. It's essential to care for them in a special manner to ensure their longevity and preserve their unique qualities. Thank you for understanding and handling my work with the utmost care.
I had an item in my cart but as I went to pay it said sold out!? How is this possible!?
Please note that items in my shop are not reserved for you while you input your information. The purchase is confirmed only upon successful payment. If someone else completes the transaction before you, the item will be marked as sold out when you attempt to make the purchase. The process operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and unfortunately, I have no control over who secures which item.
To enhance your chances of acquiring a piece, it's advisable to have all your shipping and payment details prepared in advance. This can streamline the checkout process and potentially increase your chances in the quick-paced nature of my sales. Thank you for your understanding and proactive approach!
