Questions

How far ahead should we order?

At least 10 weeks before the wedding, and earlier for bigger orders or dates between September and November, the busiest wedding season. Every piece is thrown, dried and fired twice.

How many bud vases can you make?

Enough for every table. Tell Faith your numbers and date in your enquiry and she will tell you what’s possible.

What do you give a couple who has everything?

Something they can’t buy anywhere else: a serving bowl or a pair of mugs painted with their names and wedding date, to use every day rather than keep in a cupboard.

Can you deliver to our venue?

Pieces are couriered anywhere in South Africa. Ask about delivery to your venue in your enquiry.
