Do you take commissions?

At the moment, and due to my limited availability, I am not able to take on private commissions for the time being. This is something I may revise in the future to accommodate a few commissions throughout the year. Do not hesitate to get in touch in the future. I’d happily consider it if it is an interesting project. Please understand that this only applies to compositional work, with my tableware collections being accessible solely through my website.

Do you produce work for restaurants and hospitality businesses?

If you are interested in working together to develop pieces for your restaurant, please get in touch via my contact form explaining what type of tableware you are looking for and details about your restaurant. Please understand that I don’t make anything that may fall outside of my usual aesthetic and work solely with my current glaze palette. Please be aware that my schedule is fully booked until the end of 2024 and I am not yet considering which projects to take on beyond that time.

Do you have any care recommendations?

Matte glazed pieces will inherently stain or mark overtime, my work is also high temperature fired stoneware, meaning they are more susceptible to chipping compared to mass produced wares. They are everyday use objects, however they’re hand crafted and therefore require more care than normal mass produced ceramics. If these pieces stain or show cutlery marks overtime, brush with hydrogen peroxide to remove stains and rinse thoroughly before using.

Please handle your ceramics with care, wash by hand if possible and refrain from using any strongly staining foods/liquids with them. A wash quickly after use and/or not leaving liquid on them overnight or for long periods of time is recommended. Although my pieces are safe to be used in the dishwasher or microwave, they aren’t as durable as factory made wares, and it is best for them if they aren’t use in a dishwasher or microwave.

Do you ship worldwide?

I do, there is no country I wouldn’t considered shipping. Most times I will be shipping to the UK, EU and other european countries or the US. I have shipped to countries like South Korea, Saudi Arabia or Australia, so don’t hesitate in contacting me if you are interested in purchasing my work and you live somewhere not mentioned above.

Is it possible to visit your studio?

If you wish to visit the studio please get in touch closer to the time you plan to visit. I share a small space and might not always be possible, but I’m always keen on welcoming people to visit the space and see my work. Be aware that bringing cake might be a requirement.

x, Borja
