Whether you want a custom color palette for a home decor item or a specific theme for an entire classroom number of clipboards please send me a message. Custom orders typically have a two-week lead time to allow for the resin curing process, depending on the size of the project.
Because every item is handcrafted and hand-poured, minor "perfect imperfections" such as tiny bubbles or slight surface variations can occur. These aren't flaws; they are the fingerprints of the handmade process and proof that your piece is a one-of-a-kind art object.
While I pack every order with extreme care (we want it to arrive like a "guest of honor"), accidents can happen during shipping, especially during the colder months. Please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the packaging and the item, and I will work with you to make it right.
Our decorative trays and plates are intended for display, packaged or "dry food" use or for desserts. To maintain the high-gloss finish, we do not recommend using them for hot meals or as hard cutting surfaces.
