Commission to make a ceramic face mask

I am interested in one or more bespoke masks produced from High-Fire Stoneware clay. These would be for my own use and I would want them to be wearable. There is a certain style I am going for that is sci fi tribal – see attached image as an example.

I can create a plaster mould so that it fits my face properly, I want this to be fully wearable and comfy to be worn if I use it while meditating. I have a slight bent nose from an accident and would need a larger breathing hole as I am asthmatic. I want this for just me, I am to be the only one to wear this so it should not be universal fit. I have left the nose space empty, I am not sure if it should be or a nose area created to fit mine.

Not sure how heavy such mask/masks would be but I think it would use three holes for straps at least. 

I am treating this similar to the mask worn by a character called “Darth Nihilus”, like a hybrid between a death mask and a piece of armour. I want the feel to be like a mask but also like armour, thick enough to feel substantial rather than a delicate object, though I understand it is still breakable. Something not too fragile, a Venetian mask would be too ornamental and delicate so ideally a bit stronger. 

I would like the appearance to be glossy, lustrous and shimmer, but not something that screams fancy dress or stag do or glamorous sparkle. Like Darth Vader’s mask but more glossy and with more black. Tenmoku I have read is the best choice for this mask with the addition of clear high silica glass to add depth, I would like it to be like Obsidian but with more depth, something I could look into.

I have shown a sketch of the mask I want, the top areas I want to be raised higher than the top of my head, they are not horns but fluid in appearance. I would like the mask to curve around my face to contour.

Commission to make a set of 6 mugs

My mum is autistic so very particular about her mugs and she got some while in Scotland and it’s the only mug she can use and I can’t find any online so would it be possible to get around six mugs made for Mother’s Day? I don’t mind paying whatever price as long as it’s reasonable.

I would like around six barrel-belly shaped mug with a flared rim, ideally with a little place where you can put your thumb and a slim curved handle. With patterns she can feel on the sides if possible, glazed to be pretty?

Please see attached photos for the sort of shape and handle I’m looking for. If you’re able to help, please contact me and we can discuss further.
