Private Commissions
I love the challenge of successfully interpreting my clients’ wishes through the medium of clay.
My years in the world of corporate branding taught me to understand the “needs” 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.

“I’m so happy with my recent commission with Dolores — she made my vision come to life! I really like her work and the natural touch she puts into it, but I didn’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!”
Engaging you from concept to completion, I ensure you receive a piece that reflects your individuality and meets your practical needs.
