FAQs

This is a compilation of answers to questions I commonly receive.  Please feel free to contact me if your question isn’t answered below:

Q: What is the best care for your ceramics?
A: All work is handmade.  I desire my work to be heartfelt pieces that extends the maker's touch for generations to come.  To extend the ceramic's life handwashing is recommended, but the work is dishwasher and microwave safe unless labelled otherwise.

Q: When do you update your shop?
A: Best way to find out --> is to sign up for email newsletters. 
They go out twice a month.. at most!  One newsletter will share the next shop update time, work, studio life, and other marvelous tidbits.  The second goes out the moment the shop is updated, just so you have a link directly in your mailbox!  Sometimes I share updates only on social media via my instagram account like seconds sales or spontaneous clean outs - follow along if you're interested in those events ---> Savka Clay Instagram

A: All order will be mailed out within 5-10 business days with Priority Mail via United States Postal Service or UPS.  Should you need it faster for an occasion please contact me.  Tracking numbers will be sent upon shipping.    If you have waited patiently for more than 2 weeks, and have not received the tracking number -  contact Victoria via the contact form under "contact".
