The Process
1. Initial Conversation
Email us at squeak@housemouse.la with your ideas, inspiration images, or a description of what you're hoping for. Tell us about:
What you're envisioning
How you'll use it or where it will live
Timeline and budget considerations
Any meaningful details or symbolism to incorporate
Quantity (single piece vs. set)
2. Concept Development
We'll sketch ideas, discuss forms and glazes, and refine the concept together. This is collaborative—your feedback shapes the direction. We'll provide a detailed quote including materials, labor, firing, and timeline.
3. Creation
Once you've approved the design and quote, we begin work. For larger projects or sets, we'll send progress photos. Clay takes time—pieces need to dry slowly, be bisque fired, glazed, and then glaze fired. Each step matters.
4. Completion & Pickup
We'll let you know when your pieces are ready. You can pick them up at the studio during our open hours, or we can arrange local delivery for larger commissions.
Timeline & Pricing
Timeline:
Most commissions take 4-8 weeks from approval to completion. This accounts for drying time, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing. Larger projects or sets may take longer. Rush options may be available depending on our schedule—just ask.
Pricing:
Varies based on size, complexity, quantity, and glaze requirements. Factors include:
Size and scale of pieces
Level of detail and hand-work required
Number of pieces in a set
Custom glaze development
Firing considerations
We'll provide a detailed quote after our initial conversation so there are no surprises.

Single functional piece (mug, small bowl): $25-35
Medium functional piece (large bowl, vase, planter): $50-75
Dinnerware place setting (4 pieces): $120-150
