 What is the difference between the two different paint choices - Ceramic Paint and Acrylic Paint
Answer:
When you use ceramic paint you must have the piece fired in a kiln.  When you use acrylic paint, once you are
              finished painting the piece is complete.

 What if my ceramic piece brakes during shipping.
Answer:
We are extra careful with the packaging of ceramics so we don't see breakage, but if one
              should occur, take a picture of the broken ceramic piece and send it to: info@ceramicsathome.com and
              we will ship you out another identical piece at no cost.

              It takes 2 to 5 days for us to received your ceramics after you have shipped them back to us
              Can take 1 to 4 days depending on when we receive your shipment. We fire every Tuesday and Friday.
              After firing, we ship the finished product back to you.  It may take 2 to 5 days to receive your ceramics
              back from firing.
