Hi, I’m Lisa!If you found me from Instagram, then you know “I love my pottery studio.” Pottery has my heart. It’s such a joyful activity for me. That’s why I keep it light and fun. I avoid mass production because that’s boring. I love to create pieces that inspire me based on their function and beauty.
Functional pottery is my favorite! When you reach for your favorite mug, it’s an integral part of the day. The handle is just right and fits your fingers perfectly, the rim of the mug meets your lips at the perfect angle and thickness, and the volume holds just the right amount of tea, coffee, or cocoa. Mostly, the beautiful glaze work lights up your day.
I’m launching this site to sell special pieces with a small, backyard studio style approach. Since I’m also coaching other women my age to have their passion business, shop drops may occur randomly. If you’d like early notification with coupons and private sales, please sign up for my newsletter.
What they're saying...
“Because it sheds its skin, the snake has long been a symbol of death and rebirth...This is associated with higher wisdom that comes with the passing of time. This cycle of death and rebirth is often symbolized by the ouroboros, the ancient image of a snake swallowing its on tail. it is the symbol of eternity.” - Ted Andrews
Before deciphering a dreams meaning, turning to animal spirit totems, or collective meanings of snakes in this case, I like to invite the dreamer to look first at what the symbology is in your life regarding the dream subject.
What does snake mean to you? Is it scary? Is it intriguing? What was a real life encounter you've had with snakes? What are some childhood archetypes you remember about snakes? Remember the flute playing in cartoons to mesmerize the cobra?
After you've written down all the different things a snake means and represents to you, it will open the portal to truly explore your dream.
For example, one of my first thoughts and reactions of a snake is um...no thanks. But, when I step into the mystical or spiritual meanings of snakes, knowing that they represent an incredible medicine for healing, transformation, wisdom, and clairvoyance, my mind expands into other realms outside of my immediate reactions.
The best resource in my library for animal totems is Ted Andrews' Animal Speak. If you don't already have it, I highly recommend it. In the chapter about snake, he summarizes the different cultural perspectives on snakes, ranging from the snake being evil, to the snake being revered. This array of perspectives may conjure up a sense of the depth of its meaning for you.
It's outdoor season so you might come upon a snake in waking life. Be mindful, present, and see what comes up for you. It's just as fun working with these symbols in waking life as dream time.
When you place a regular order, it will be packaged and shipped via USPS. It typically will take between 1 and 2 business days to package and drop off with USPS. Then, you'll receive a tracking number to see when your package will be delivered. I am located in California. You can expect shipping to take anywhere between 2 and 5 days depending on where in the country you live.
I try to be mindful about recycling and repurposing plastic packaging material, but I also may use biodegradable paper products to package up your pottery. The most important thing is to avoid any possible breakage while being delivered, so that's my priority.
At this point, I do not ship outside the US. However, if you are interested in buying my pottery and live outside the US, contact me with the piece(s) you're interested in, your mailing address in its entirety, and I'll calculate the shipping costs and invoice you.
The timeline for completing a custom pottery order can vary depending on the complexity of the project and my current workload. On average, it takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the initial consultation to the final delivery of your pottery, depending on the scope. However, for more specific timelines, please contact me and I'll be happy to discuss the details further.
After having a discussion, I'll be sending you an invoice for the down payment along with a written contract with a description of the agreed upon pottery. Once that is signed and payment is submitted, the general rule is no revisions or changes. However, the best rule of thumb is to reach out to me immediately, and I will let you know if your request can be accommodated or not. I want to ensure that the final piece aligns perfectly with your vision and expectations. Your input is an essential part of the creative process, and I'm committed to making allowances if possible.
Pricing for custom pottery is determined by several factors, including the size of the piece(s), the materials used, the quantity, and complexity of the design. To get a personalized quote for your project, please reach out to me, and I'll provide you with a detailed quote based on your specific requirements and preferences.
