Planters

I could not be more happy to have dealt with Sara! I am extremely happy with the final product and I'm sure my co-workers will be too! Thank you so much!

I absolutely loved working with Sara! She kept me updated throughout the whole process. I am so obsessed with my new planter. Super excited to fill her up with some of my favorites!!

Sara was fabulous to work with. Once the product started, she sent messages often with updates and progress. I even had a chance to add a few things as we went along. The only critique I have is that the engraving is a little hard to read after the glaze. All in all I’m very pleased with my final products and so were my friends who received them as gifts. Thank you Sara!

For Cat Bastet Urn

The urn Sara made for my cat Jinx is beautiful! Very happy to have his forever home, custom made, for my pet that was an individual himself. If working with this artist, please be thorough in asking about steps and how long each step takes so you are not cut off in the middle of revisions. The process was not full explained to me. Also the shipping date was missed, so make sure you are clear if you need it by a specific time. We had 2 months to complete this project, with a shipping date set by the maker. With 1 week left, and not seeing anything other than 2 glaze tests and a drawing, I asked what steps need to get done to ship by the date she set. I was informed she had been sick and the item would not ship on time. I was disappointed, as I didn't set the ship date, as was not informed that there would be delays until I asked. We settled on an amicable solution to rectify the delay. In dealing with items surrounding death, I would have hoped for better communication if a delay were to be had. All in all, within that week proofing photos were coming daily, and we were honing in on the final look of the urn. I was again disappointed when I was told it was too late to make any further revisions as it had to go in the first kiln and there was 1 note of shaping I wanted addressed. A heads up that I had 1 day left for revisions would have been nice. Sara was very professional in her communications though. And obviously knows the medium she works with very well. I am overall very happy with my finished product. I only wish that knowledge was passed along to me throughout the process.

Working with Sara was amazing. I had a vision for my project and she was able to translate that into a masterpiece. She communicated with me throughout the entire process and sent me plenty of pictures and updates. Her pricing was great and I am so incredibly thankful to have worked with her on my project. She made the process smooth and I would definitely work with her again.

Sara has been, not only a talented artist, but a quality professional during the process of bringing this project from concept to reality. She is a joy and I will treasure the process as much as the finished product.

Sara was absolutely wonderful to work with!!! I had a custom request where Sara recreated a bank (that looks like an owl) from a couple pictures I drew, that go with my daughters room theme. Sara worked with my budget and gave me a great price for the cost to make this owl bank and ship it to me. Sara communicated with me every step of the way as she created our bank (from sketch to clay molding to colors, etc...). She sent me pictures as she reached the next step and asked for my opinion to see if she needed to tweak anything before she moved on. The end result was a picture perfect creation!!! It was exactly what I was envisioning the bank to look like. I plan to use Sara in the future when I need any custom ceramics. I have already been passing on her information to some of my friends. Thank you Sara for creating this beautiful bank for my little one. I can't wait to receive it and display it in her bedroom. Shannon Hager

Sara put together an incredibly beautiful piece for me and I am so excited to gift it to my friend. She was communicative and she provided me with pictures in various parts of the process, beginning with the original sketch. I am so glad that I found Sara — the final product exceeded my expectations. And I very much hope to collaborate with her on future projects. (I have already referred to "my ceramicist" in casual conversation.)

I am making a small movie and recreating a scene from 57 years ago. I needed a piece of intricate, complicated pottery recreated for the scene. Sara assured me she could make the piece of pottery look EXACTLY the same as the original from the 60's. She pulled it off! I can't even come up with the right words to describe how impressively perfect the piece is. I consider myself very, very lucky to have met her through this site. If you need a piece of pottery done perfectly, Sara can deliver. Wow!!! 10/10!

Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with for my project. Very responsive, professional, and a very talented artist, the scuptures turned out absolutely amazing. I wouldn't hesitate going to her again on a future project.

I was the original customer for the Little Ganesha statue. Years later, and after several moves, we couldn't find my Ganesha, so I asked Sara to make me a new one. In the meantime, I'd bought a different god statue from her -- the Hawaiian goddess Pele -- so Sara suggested making the new Ganesha statue in the same raw red clay that the Pele used, so they would go together. That way, if I ever find the little white Ganesha, the three of them will make visual sense as a group, with the new Ganesha holding the other two together. This kind of thoughtful design decision is one of the reasons I keep coming back to Sara. She is so good at thinking out the details that I rarely have to make specific requests; I tell her what I want to make, and she handles the rest. She researched Ganesha on her own and discovered that he's typically portrayed as having only one tusk, so she asked if I wanted her to break one off on purpose, to fit the tradition. She originated all the decisions about what he's holding in his four hands, or what images and designs are all over him in the blue and gold, after looking up traditions surrounding the god. I've always been kept in the loop about what she's come up with, and asked for my input if I want to give it, but almost always I'm best off going with what Sara suggests, because the sculptures consistently come out perfectly that way. Sara's prices are not low, and they shouldn't be, given the quality of her work. But I've never found them unreasonable. Her treasures are packed with the kind of care necessary to protect them; I've ordered three complex ceramic sculptures from her by now and never had them arrive chipped or broken. I don't have a serious objection anywhere... perhaps things might arrive more consistently on time, but she's never more than slightly late, and I'd rather, with this kind of special treasure, she ships "only mostly on time" than "only mostly perfect." And I've never had a single complaint about the work itself, after three separate projects. I will definitely be back to order more from Sara, when I need a new god for my collection.

I am very happy with the end result she created for me I just told her what I wanted and she drew it up and while it did take some time most of that was on my end for not responding to her on time despite that she threw in an extra small version of what I was asking for. She was very kind and very professional and I would most certainly use her again.

Very happy with this purchase. Excellent quality, great design, good communication. Would definitely buy again!

We wanted a custom cake topper of a video game that she had no knowledge of. But despite that she did her research and gave us a topper better than I could have dreamed of. She was amazing!

The final product is perfect, exactly what i needed. Thank you Sara again for your prompt responses.

Sara was very easy to work with. She supplied updates and photos of the progress along the way which was helpful.

This is a little long, but worth the read! 29 years ago I found a whole sand dollar on a beach in San Francisco. I was walking with my then husband, my brother and my niece, who was only three years old at the time. I kept it all of these years to give it to her on her wedding day with the message “relationships are fragile - like sand dollars. The time finally arrived for her to wed, so I got busy finding just the right artist to encase this sand dollar in resin, with the finished product being a paperweight. It was a H-U-G-E leap of faith to package and send my treasure to Sara in New York, but I cannot even describe how beautifully it turned out! Sara placed the sand dollar on sand with a few tiny shells around it - it looked just like it did when I first saw it lying on the beach all of those years ago. My niece absolutely loves it, and it is finally sitting on her desk where it belongs. I trusted Sara with the project. She kept the lines of communication open, but in the end I gave her artistic license to create the paperweight. She wanted extra time to spend on the project, which I gladly allowed. It was not done “on time,” but in the end, there really was no time. I just wanted it perfect - and it was! She even made a necklace with a tiny sand dollar on it for me at no extra charge. Priceless. Obviously, I would highly recommend Sara.

Working with Sara was an absolute pleasure. Communication was excellent, timely, and professional. Sara captured the whimsy and beauty of my little, unique project. She is a wonderful artist and I would return to her for future projects without hesitation.

Thank you so much Sara! You have been amazing and I can't wait for my wife to see this!

I had worked with Sara E. Lynch with an idea I had. Sara made sure I get what I requested. Sara was amazing person to work with, she was making sure she send the picture of the product before she send the good. And I got what I requested. I would defendant work with Sara E. hLynch. Sara gave my dream idea to life.

Kept in touch with me the whole time and answered every question plus voiced any ideas or helpful thoughts she had from her knowledge and experience, and the artwork came out amazing, love it, thank you Sara

Was happy to finally received the item I ordered but it was a very frustrating process of acuatlly recieving this item. Ordered the item in October with an estimated arrival of mid February, finally received item mid July. Communication was great for the first week. Regular updates were nonexistent and when I did receive updates months had gone by and some were after I requested an update. The colors that were requested were inverted on the mug. Purple on the outside vice the inside and the opposite for green. When I received the mug, I did appreciate the look of the mug. I probably would not work with this artist again due to the lack of communication and extensive wait period to receive the mug.

Turned out very nice. Just what I have been searching for. Thank you.
