I have recently began to make custom jars. These jars are special because I only make one, just for you. The pricing is typically quite a bit more than my other jars because of the time I have to put into making each jar special. Below you will find a series of pictures that gives you an idea of how I complete this process, based on the details that you provide to me. I cannot give a price here on the website because each jar is so unique and each jar takes a different amount of time. If interested, please contact me via email or phone.  sacorl@centurytel.net or 989.673.4925

 I begin by producing a raw jar. 

 Here I am, hard a work! 

It takes some imagination to see the final product.

 I keep working until it looks just right. 

Ready for Paint, then the Glaze

After cleaning, I put on the paint. 

Here is a view of the front and back.

The final steps include glaze... putting on the gold and firing the jar.
