As a creative facilitator and artist, I use my intuition, creativity and practical ceramic skills to tell a story.

 

PRIVATE COMMISSIONS

I love the challenge of successfully interpreting my clientsโ€™ wishes through the medium of clay.

My years in the world of corporate branding taught me to understand the โ€œneedsโ€ of my clients and translate them into the language of the graphic designer to create the perfect graphic solution. Today, those same well-honed skills enable me to understand each of my clients and to interpret their individual decoration needs through the medium of clay.

โ€œIโ€™m so happy with my recent commission with Dolores โ€” she made my vision come to life! I really like her work and the natural touch she puts into it, but I didnโ€™t know how that would translate into what I wanted. Dolores managed to sculpt my teapot based on photos that I sent her. I chose one of her color patterns, and it ended up absolutely stunning. Amazing!โ€

Engaging you from concept to completion, I ensure you receive a piece that reflects your individuality and meets your practical needs.

STEP BY STEP PROCESS

1

In-depth discussions ascertain your likes, dislikes, interests, and needs before arriving at a selection of possible designs.

2

Collaboratively, the designs are narrowed down and perfected conceptually until the definitive design is agreed.

3

Dolores will start turning ideas and plans into reality and will begin creating your chosen design in clay.

From commission to completion, the process can take between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design.
