FAQ

  • Take a look through my “recent works” in my portfolio, and these are all my styles and shapes that I can currently make! These are the glazes and colors and clay bodies that I have available in my home studio. I’m currently only hand building so the forms will have a more organic quality.

  • See announcement at the top of this page regarding surgery. Under normal circumstances, allow for approximately two months. Ceramic work is a slow process as each item needs to dry slowly, be fired twice, and many other steps in between! If I experience technical difficulties (usually kiln problems) additional time will be necessary.

  • Wholesale pricing is 60% of my recommended retail price. Shipping is an additional cost. Payment is due at the time of order completion, via check or cash. All checks can be made out to “Alex Schmiechen”.

  • Custom items are usually a bit more expensive than the standard items in my shop, as I will usually make a backup item to ensure that the final product is up to my quality standards! I require 50% of payment before I begin making the work, and then the other 50% after completion. Payment can be done via email invoice or Venmo. Shipping is an additional charge but local pickup/ drop off is an option for those in and around Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
