Custom orders: from your idea to clay

Your cat, your colours, your idea — how a custom ClayStation piece is planned, shaped, approved and fired.

Most pieces in our shop can be changed — the colour, the size or the decoration — and we love painting real pets and real people. Here is how a custom order works.

What we can make

  • Pet portraits on trinket dishes, mugs and matcha bowls, painted from your photo.
  • Your colours on any piece in the shop — a pink checkered bowl instead of blue, a ginger cat instead of grey.
  • Something new — tell us the idea and we will tell you honestly whether clay can do it.

The steps

  1. Send your idea. Email us your idea, and a photo if you have one.
  2. A plan and a price. We reply with what we would make and a price. Custom pieces are paid in full when you order.
  3. Shaped in clay. We sculpt and paint your piece by hand in the studio.
  4. You approve a photo. Before it is fired, we send you photos. Nothing goes into the kiln until you are happy.
  5. Fired and shipped. Once you approve, it is glazed, fired and sent to you by express courier.

Handmade means one of a kind

Every piece is made by hand, so small differences in colour, size and brushwork are part of it. That is how you can tell a person made it.
