Custom Work with Chaney Byers Ceramics

​Heirloom-quality pieces made just for you

At Chaney Byers Ceramics, we believe in making art personal. Whether you're dreaming of a set of mugs that match your kitchen, a one-of-a-kind wedding gift, or a custom serving bowl that holds your favorite ritual, we love creating pieces that bring your vision to life.

Each custom order is a collaboration — rooted in conversation, built with care, and designed to last.

Inquiry & Idea Chat

Send us a message via our website or Instagram to start the conversation.
We’ll chat about:

  • What you’re envisioning

  • Size and shape preferences

  • Color palette and glaze finish

  • Function — how you plan to use the piece

 

*Expect thoughtful questions. We want to make sure it feels like you.

Design Sketch or Visual Confirmation

You’ll receive a sketch or reference photo based on our discussion to make sure we’re aligned before the clay hits the wheel.

Down Payment Secured

A 50% deposit is required before production begins.
This covers materials and time — because once it’s fired, it can’t be undone.

Clay Day – Making the Form

Here’s where your piece comes to life. Chaney will throw, hand-build, or sculpt the piece in-studio.
📸
You’ll get a photo of your piece in its raw clay form (pre-trim, soft, and fresh off the wheel).

Trim & Refine

Once the clay firms up, Chaney trims and shapes the details.
📸
Optional: Progress photo of the trimmed piece to see the clean lines take form.

Carving Pottery

Bisque Fire

The piece is dried slowly and then fired at low temperature to harden.
📸
You’ll see it as a pure white, chalky version of itself — a milestone moment.

Glaze Selection & Finish

Together, we confirm your glaze choice. (You’ll have options to view.)
Then it’s glazed and loaded for a high-fire kiln run.

📸 Final progress photo — your piece glazed and kiln-ready.
