Yes! I do everything from coloring the clay, to painting the design, to resin coating, to assembling. I’m a busy person who likes to keep their hands moving!

I tend to ship everything out 2 weeks after your order is submitted and I have received payment. If you live in San Marcos I have a pick up at farmer’s market option at checkout for you! (no need to pay)
*shipping ceramics is more expensive and requires more time and care
-
What kind of metal do you use?
The default earring I use are 14K gold plated lever back huggies. You can change the type of metal for your earring when you check out.
You can choose between sterling silver plated, gold filled, or clip on.
*gold filled is a step up from gold plated, and will include a price increase.
-
How did you get started?
I’m a recent ceramics BFA graduate from Texas State University, and I started my polymer clay journey at the beginning of quarantine. With the studio closed down, and my source to equipment closed, I turned to polymer clay for its accessibility and soon fell in love. With the doom of the world over my shoulders I started making tiny cute little things that I could eventually turn into jewelry and decided that this is what the world needed. And thus! KIRC Studio was created to spread the stupid joy that we are all desperately trying to cling to.
-
Do you take commissions?
Right now, no. And here’s why, I’m fresh as a daisy out of art school and I have been itching desperately to make whatever it is that pops in my head, no matter how silly or ridiculous. I am lucky enough that I have an audience that both likes and appreciates the art that I make, so I do not need to rely on commissions at this time. That being said, I will open my commissions from time to time, and I will be announcing when I do so, either on social media or newsletter.

Returns + Concerns
I understand that sometimes things get to you late, broken, or shit happens, so what do you do? You can email me or message me over Instagram with any concerns or questions that you may have considering your order or products. I ask you to be kind and considerate that I am one person trying to figure things out and sometimes things fall through the cracks. I will always try my best to help and consider you, as long as you do the same.
-
What are your prices?
My prices are based on the amount of time and effort I put into something, as well as the quality of work that I create; because of this the prices of my work are not fixed, but slide on a scale from $15-$200+. It’s important to consider that I am a small batch, bedroom artist trying to make their way in this crazy world. However that doesn’t mean that I will charge an insane amount for my work because ultimately my work is for everyone and I believe in pricing my work so that EVERYONE can afford something.
-
Who is your art for?
My art is for E V E R Y O N E. I cannot stress this enough, I make cute things yes, but cute does NOT have a gender. That means it doesn’t matter to me what you look like, if you like my art, my art is for you. period. This is a safe space for everyone, especially those who have been outcast, if you do not agree with that, let the door hit you on the way out! :-)
-
Are you an artist or a craft person?
I consider myself an artist and a crafts person. What does this mean? It means I don’t care about the constructs that society, especially the elitist art society, has put on the argument of craft vs art. I am an artist. I make crafts. I am both and everything all at once.
