- :: STEP 2 :: "Design and Create!"
Once we receive your request online, our dot pottery artist will carefully review it and begin working on your design.
The artist will first complete a rough paper sketch of your design to let you know how it will be layed out and ensure she understands your request. You will receive a proof via email of the sketch to authorize or suggests changes.
With your approval of the initial sketch, the artist then begins painting your pottery and once the hand painting is complete you will once again be able to review a preview picture of your pottery--before it has been fired in our kiln--to approve your personalized design.
Payment information will be provided (see below for more information) and your personalized pottery will be fired in our kiln for professional ceramic finishing.
After kiln firing, your personalized pottery will be ready to ship and be enjoyed for many years to come!
Please allow us with about 10-14 days from today,
, to ship your personalized, hand painted pottery. A RUSH order is available upon request, but additional fees will apply.
