SHIPPING & RETURNS

Oh good! You found my silly take on a silly genre! 

SHIPPING POLICY

So shipping is like the Hunger Games or something now, and it changes every week, so I'm going to do my best to keep on top of changes, but you know as well as I do that our infrastructure is collapsing and holiday shipping in particular is a weird new guessing game. 

I reuse stuff as much as possible as long as it's clean. I don't have pets, so there shouldn't be any allergens, but you never know when I might find a rad haul of tissue paper from one of my neighbors and not realize there's dog dander in there. Is that how that works? Maybe cat dander is more of an issue. Anyway, you're going to receive my stuff packaged in wrinkly, attractive, lovingly packed trash diverted from a landfill. Mostly I just save all the packaging materials from the stuff I order from the Internet. Because, you know, the future. Giving a gift? Don't worry! It's gonna be so cute! If you have a source for reasonably priced, very small padded mailers that don't use plastic, please let me know! I haven't figured out that piece of the equation yet. 

​​RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY​

If you need to return an item for refund, that's fine, as long as it hasn't been worn around. I can't cover that shipping though. If something arrives damaged, then I'll need to do a claim with USPS, ugh, but I should be able to refund you that shipping as part of my claim. I haven't done this yet so let's just hope this all works. 

Exchanges aren't really a thing because every piece is unique. But just drop me a line, we'll figure it out. Thanks for understanding!

Tender Fire Studio is part concept, part my tiny basement apartment full of art supplies and very little furniture, and part shared workshop. I work, play, and love on land that was stolen from the Pocumtuc people, settled by colonizers, and continues to be sold for profit in the speculative real estate market for the enrichment and comfort of the owning class. Decolonizing my practice is an ongoing study of how I can be in right relationship to the land, animals, and plants of this place while embracing and acknowledging the often-scary precarity and vulnerability of a life given to the pursuit of soul and the sacred rather than the settler concepts of security and safety. I give thanks and praise to the rivers that form this Connecticut River valley, to these sand hills and the ants that dwell here and find my kitchen window so inviting, to the many birds and their dawn hymns, and to the forests: o the trees, the ferns, the damp stones and the deep deep woods, you are the mercy of the sacred in cellulose flesh.
