All my pieces are hand poured & cleaned to bisque cone 04. PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING THIS IS IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION: MOST OF MY ITEMS ARE READY TO SHIP BUT DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF ORDERS I AM WORKING ON DAILY, I DO HAVE AN ExTRA LONG HANDLING TIME. THE TIME OF YEAR & THE BUSIER I AM ALSO PLAYS A ROLE in THE AMOUNT OF TIME I NEED TO GET ORDERS PACKED & SHIPPED. Some items sell quicker then others so it is likely I am going to need to pour additional items, THIS TAKES TIME & because it is done by hand, TIME IS NECESSARY. I ASK THAT IF YOU ARE in A RUSH YOU CAN MESSAGE ME & I will let you know if I can fill your request & ship it out quicker. I will combine shipping & refund overpaid shipping fees. If you want me to combine an order with the correct shipping please message me with a list of the items you are wanting to order & I will create an order for you. I do refund overpaid shipping if the refund is more the 2.00. I do my best to keep the costs reasonable & low. It is difficult for me to calculate on many of these pieces because I make it by hand & weight always varies. Please do not hesitate at anytime to message me with questions. I try to respond right away but sometimes it can take a few days. Ceramics are easy to paint for the beginner or professional & fun for any age group. Acrylic paints are most commonly used & available at most retail or craft stores. They are easy to use & easy to clean up. All my pieces have been fired & do not need to be fired in a kiln again they are ready to paint. If you have access to a kiln my ceramic bisque has been fired to a cone 04 (low fire) & can be fired with ceramic glazes (cone 06 / 05) All my pieces listed here can be custom finished to your request, or quantities are available (requiring more time before shipping) Feel free to contact me if you have questions & I will respond within 1 to 2 days. If you do not get a response in your inbox then check your junk folder. I appreciate your visiting my shop & considering to purchase from these Creative Kreations Thank you & have a great day.
