Snacks

Oil's in foods can and will effect the final outcome of your artwork. We cannot be responsible for imperfections caused when painters do not adhere to studio guidelines. Frequent hand washing is essential to final outcome of your piece.

Breakage During Firing

Very rarely pieces do get broken or damaged in the firing process. During the firing process, the clay and the glazes undergo a chemical reaction with the extremely high temperatures of the kiln. During this heating and cooling process problems occasionally occur. Sometimes the problem is due to a incompatibilities in different paint combinations, othertimes there is an air bubble in the paint or in the ceramic piece itself that causes a problem. For these an other reasons, a piece may break, chip, or be otherwise damaged in firing or during the cooling process.

If this happens, we will gladly replace the bisque if it is in stock or refund the purchase price of the Bisque.
