As an alternative to purchasing anonymously mass-produced goods, manufactured who knows where, commissioning directly from a designer-maker provides multiple benefits. The buyer benefits from the freedom of direct interaction with an original creator who can offer the almost limitless choice of a made-to-measure service. The maker benefits by providing a specifically tailored product without the conceptual or financial dilution of selling through intermediaries.

We are constantly rewarded by the intrigued reactions of new clients as they discover the possibilities of commissioning an original ceramic work of art for their own home. Their delight with the finished creation is a reward shared by both parties in this 'alternative' economic model.
