FAQ

Please contact me if your question is not answered here.

Orders

Is the piece in the photo the one I get?

Yes, for one-of-a-kind work. Where a listing is a set or a run, each piece is from the same batch and will vary a little, because every one is made by hand.

How do I pay?

Checkout is through Square. Your card details go to Square and never reach this site.

A piece is sold. Will there be more?

Most sculpture is made once. Thrown work comes back in new firings, and it is never quite the same. Subscribe to hear when new work goes into the shop.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Write to hello@chloekobernuss.com as soon as you can. If the order has not shipped yet, I can usually change or cancel it.

Shipping

When will my order ship?

Orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. I write with tracking when it does.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes, by arrangement. Write to me before you order so I can quote a carrier and a price. Duties and import taxes are paid by you.

My piece arrived broken. What now?

Email hello@chloekobernuss.com within 7 days of delivery, with photos of the piece and the packing. Keep the box. I will work with you on a repair, replacement, or refund.

Can I return a piece?

Sales are final, except for damage in transit or where the law requires otherwise. Small differences in glaze, form, and size are part of handmade work.

Care

Is it food safe?

Functional pieces such as tumblers and bowls are glazed on the inside for food and drink. Sculpture and pieces with raw or woodfired surfaces are for display. The listing says which is which. If it does not, ask.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

High-fire stoneware is strong. Hand washing is still kindest to unglazed and atmospheric surfaces. Avoid sudden jumps from cold to hot.

How do I clean a sculpture?

Dust with a soft dry brush or cloth. A damp cloth is fine for stoneware. No soaps or polish on raw or woodfired surfaces.

Commissions & Studio

Do you take commissions?

Sometimes, depending on the kiln schedule. Tell me what you have in mind, the size, and when you need it. Price, deposit, and timing are agreed in writing before I start.
