And by fresh I mean scalding hot since each handmade ceramics animal and tableware piece is fired to very high temperatures in my Montréal studio. Each month, I deliver a new batch of friends and list them all in the ceramics shop. You are in the right place to buy yourself or a loved one the gift of cuteness. Brace yourself for the AAAAAWS ♥ There’s only one downside : each figurine is one of a kind, so you’ll find some sold out pieces from time to time. One way to avoid it : be the first to access the restocks by joining the mailing list (scroll to the bottom if you missed the pop-up) 🙂
In addition to being an independent shop and a one woman business, Kness is also an art shop with values. Basic things like : I like the planet we live on and I like both animals and my fellow humans. Making this both as cute as possible and as sustainable as I can was the only way.
Each handmade ceramics piece is Made in Québec, Canada. I love working local and global : that’s why I source my materials as close to home as possible, working with Canadian clays and offering pick-up for your Montréal orders. I picked a Canadian packaging company, sourcing recyclable or compostable materials and I ship with Canada Posts for the majority of my orders.
I package and ship each ceramic animals with paper, recycled and recyclable materials.
Each animal or painting is one of a kind, handcrafted in Canada. What you see is what you get.
Each ceramic animal or porcelain pendant comes in a gift ready illustrated box.
For more cuteness on your walls and in your bullet journals, there are adorable illustrations available as prints, mugs and washi tape. Here is a selection of outside shops featuring my work as printed goodies. You can find printed mugs on Threadless, adorable washi tape on The Washi Station and pretty art prints on Inprnt. These are also easier on your wallet, perfect if you still want the aaaws but are on a budget !
I can work just for you either in ceramics or in illustration, just let me know what you’d like and we’ll talk about it ! Your pet portrait can take many forms, a figurine, a necklace, a mug or bowl, or a painting. Each piece will resemble your pet but not in a realistic kind of way, it will be in my style and made with love. Wanna look at a few samples ? Let’s check some commissioned works of the past.
You’d like to have your very own painting, pattern or pet portrait ? My illustration commissions are often available. Here’s all the information you need and a price list.
Illustration commissions
Once every two months or so, I open a ceramics commissions round. This means that I will create your very own cat, dog, bunny or bird into a porcelain figurine or a piece of ceramics jewelry. Custom made tableware pieces are also available. Make sure to read all the details before applying for a commission and order the cute pottery piece you imagined !
