Care, Shipping & Handmade Realities

Shipping Time

I live and work rurally, and the nearest post office is about an hour round trip. Because of this, orders are usually shipped one to two days per week.

Most pieces should arrive within one to two weeks, depending on where you live and when your order is placed. Each object is made, chosen, wrapped, and packed with care. Nothing here is rushed out of the door.

Product Variations

Many Dirt Creature pieces are made in small families rather than exact duplicates.

For smaller “Maker’s Pick” items, the photos shown are examples of the kind of object you may receive. Shape, surface, color, glaze movement, and size may vary more widely.

For mid-tier functional pieces, such as mugs and ritual cups, your piece will be close to the size, color, and style shown, but will still carry the natural variations of handmade work.

For larger one-of-a-kind pieces, such as bells, teapots, vessels, and sculptural works, the item photographed is the exact piece you will receive unless otherwise noted.

Returns & Damaged Shipments

If your piece arrives broken, please send a photo of the damaged item and packaging to: Richard@DirtCreature.com

I’ll refund the order or send a replacement if a similar piece is available.

For pieces that arrive safely, the buyer is responsible for return shipping. A refund will be issued after the item is received back safely and in its original condition.

Are the Pieces Food Safe?

Functional pieces intended for food or drink are assumed to be food safe and intended for daily use unless otherwise stated.

Some sculptural, wood-fired, or experimental pieces may not be food safe because of surface texture, glaze behavior, or firing conditions. If a piece is decorative, sculptural, or not intended for food use, that will be noted in the product listing.

Are Pieces Microwave and Dishwasher Safe?

Most functional pieces are made for everyday use and are microwave and dishwasher safe unless the listing says otherwise.

Consignment & Wholesale

I do not offer consignment.
