Ceramic Artist​/Potter – Product Prototyping; Project

Overview

I'm looking for a ceramic artist or potter with kiln access to help prototype a series of candle containers for a growing home décor brand. This role focuses on creating physical prototypes from existing designs and measurements so our team can photograph products and obtain manufacturing quotes. The designs are company-owned product designs and IP
. The role is strictly prototype fabrication
, not artistic collaboration. The prototypes will ultimately be manufactured at scale, including overseas production. If you’re comfortable working in a product development / prototyping capacity
, this could be a great project with the potential for ongoing work as we expand our product line.

• Access to a kiln
• Ability to create clean, consistent ceramic vessel forms
• Comfortable replicating existing shapes from measurements or samples
• Ability to produce pieces in multiple sizes
• Ability to quickly ship finished samples to Evergreen, Colorado (USA)
• Willingness to sign a standard NDA before receiving design files or product specifications

• Replicate several existing candle container designs in different sizes
• Prototype new container shapes developed by our internal design team
• Produce small runs of samples for product photography and manufacturer quoting

Please send:

• Portfolio or examples of previous ceramic work
• Your location
• Typical lead times for prototyping
• This is paid project work with the potential for ongoing collaboration as new designs are developed.
