Pottery Collection Policy
Once your pieces have been fired and are ready for collection, I'll send you a notification to let you know.
Please don't reply to this message. I'll contact everyone again with the next available collection window.
Your pieces might need to be collected from Arana Hills or Stafford. I will let you know
Collection Windows
As Shontal Ceramic is a one-person business, collections are available during scheduled collection windows only.
Each week, I'll offer one or more 2-hour collection windows. The day and time will vary from week to week (for example Tuesday 5:00–7:00 pm, Thursday 12:00–2:00 pm or Sunday 5:00–7:00 pm) to give everyone a fair opportunity to collect their work.
If you can't attend one week's collection window, that's absolutely fine. Simply wait for the next collection window, or arrange for a friend or family member to collect your pieces on your behalf.
Unfortunately, I can no longer arrange individual collection appointments or respond to multiple collection messages, as this is no longer manageable while running the business.
Collection Instructions
During the scheduled collection window:
Come to building
Buzz my Unit number
I'll let you into the building.
Come upstairs to Level 1.
Your pieces will be waiting in a bag with your name on it.
Important
Please only attend during the advertised collection window.
Outside these times, I may be teaching workshops, working, attending appointments or unavailable, so I won't be able to assist with collections.
Collection Timeframe
Please collect your pieces within 3 weeks of being notified that they're ready (4 weeks at the latest).
As my home studio has limited storage space and new workshops are held every week, pieces that remain uncollected for an extended period may be disposed of or donated if no collection arrangements have been made.
Thank you for your understanding and support. This collection system allows me to spend more time creating and teaching, while still providing regular opportunities for everyone to collect their work.

My name is Shontal, I am a passionate ceramic artist based in Stafford, Australia. I was born in Jordan and moved to Australia in 2001.
My love for ceramics dates back to my childhood when I used to accompany my mother to ceramic classes in Jordan. My journey into the world of ceramics began in May 2021, starting with hand building techniques, but I soon found myself fascinated by the art of throwing on the wheel. Being so in love with pottery, I took the bold step of acquiring my own wheel and began perfecting my throwing skills at my home studio.
My dedication to mastering the art of ceramics led me to explore glazing techniques with a keen interest in Amaco and Maco glazes. While progressing in my pottery journey, I unexpectedly found myself drawn back to hand building, finding it to be an incredibly relaxing and therapeutic experience. Slab hand building became my canvas for crafting unique and beautiful designs, especially in creating captivating mugs. More recently, I have ventured into the realm of coil hand building, resulting in the creation of some stunning large bowls.
Initially, I attended various schools in Brisbane, such as Mas And Meik and Indooroopilly Ceramic Studios, to grasp the basics of ceramics. However, as my skills evolved, I took the initiative to self-educate myself further by exploring different techniques online.
Japanese pottery has captured my heart, and I have started incorporating the Japanese style into my ceramic creations. My artistic inclinations lean toward the allure of matte glazes, intriguing textures, and the art of stamping, carving, and utilizing the sodium silicate technique.
I prefer using white stoneware clay, which I skilfully enhance with Iron Oxide and Cobalt Oxide stains, adding depth and character to my pieces.
In summary, my artistic journey is one of passion, dedication, and continuous exploration. My ceramics beautifully showcase my love for Japanese influence, intriguing textures, and captivating glazing techniques. As I continue to evolve and innovate in my home studio, my work is sure to inspire and delight anyone who appreciates the beauty of handmade ceramics.
