Due to space constraints, unless otherwise agreed, uncollected work after this time will be donated to a local charity. Sarah Schembri Ceramics Pty Ltd takes extreme care firing work, however by the nature of ceramics there is always a risk of technical failure for which we cannot be held responsible. We are unable to guarantee that all your work will be successfully fired.
