Why does handmade cost more?

A handmade ceramic mug might take weeks to complete.

Each piece is individually formed, carefully dried, bisque fired, glazed by hand and fired again. Alongside the artist’s time comes the cost of clay, glazes, kilns, electricity, studio space, equipment and years spent developing skills.

You’re not simply buying a mug.

You’re investing in craftsmanship, creativity and something that will never be exactly repeated.
