Frequently asked questions

How do I Order Clay?

Order Online

Clay can be ordered through our website. Please follow the quantity instructions carefully and complete checkout. You may choose pickup or shipping at checkout.

Order In-Store

If the clay is available, you may walk in and request your clay in person. We will have you pull up to the garage, where we’ll help load your car.

*If your order is over 1000 lbs. of clay we request you provide us a date and time that you are planning to arrive.

Orders for pick up over 1000# will have a $15 handling fee applied.

Need Help?

If you experience any issues, you may email your order to orders@rovinceramics.com.

Important

Clay orders will not be reserved without payment or a purchase/order number.

How do I order Raw Materials?

Please allow 48 hours for large raw material orders to be prepared. We are a small staff and receive raw material orders daily.

You will be contacted when your order is ready. Please wait for confirmation or call us before arriving for pickup.

If you request same-day pickup, a $5 rush fee per item will be applied to the order.

How long before my order is ready?

If your order contains clay, tools, full bag materials, or glazes, it may be ready within a few hours. We will contact you as soon as your order is prepared.

If your order includes weighed raw ingredients, please wait for a ready-for-pickup notification. Same-day fulfillment of raw material orders cannot be guaranteed.

How to order if with a Schools/Studios or Institution

Rovin has a small staff so to improve efficiency and minimize errors please do the following:

If your school or institution is ordering from Rovin for the first time, you can give Rovin your school’s contact info, address, and tax-exempt info, We do not accept tax-exemption numbers per Michigan law. You must fill out a Tax Exemption document with us. 

Provide us contact information for billing and purchasing.

If you are located in Michigan, you will have to fill out a form; we have blank copies on file by request. This form will have to be updated every 4 years. 

Orders can be placed by email, if an account is not set up through the website. We do this to ensure there is no miscommunication, and so that we may have a digital paper trail.

Our online checkout has a unique feature that allows Schools, Studios and Institutions to check out using the Purchase order option. These PO's MUST be submitted via email and confirmed by Rovin staff before they will be processed.

Please Note: If you are tax exempted, and have taxes at checkout notify the Rovin team so we can apply it to your website account. This will make sure that your future orders are tax exempt. Rovin accepts purchase orders, or POs as a method of ordering via email.

For billing purposes, we do not send invoices until ALL product and material leaves our establishment. This is due to our inventory management process

Rovin Policies


All returns or exchanges must be made within 45 days of purchase. The receipt must be present for any refund or exchange. We do not accept returns on special order items, custom clay, large equipment, open or used sales items. Weighed-out raw materials and boxed clay will incur a 5% restocking fee. 



We do our best to deliver a consistent product by using the best materials available on the market. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the ceramic materials and mining processes, a degree of the quality is not within our control. Therefore, we cannot guarantee 100% consistent results. If there is a concern about the clay please bring it to our attention as soon as possible.

All special orders must be paid in full, at the time of the order. Drop shipping is available on some items. Once confirmed, there are no cancellations, refunds or exchanges on any special order items. Customer is responsible for shipping costs unless the item ships on one of Rovin’s bulk orders and the customer agrees to pick up items from store location.

Freezeing Questions

If your garage temperature is above 40°F you can keep your clay stored in your car, or in your garage.

Once temperatures reach 32°F your clay is at risk of freezing. You may be okay to leave your clay in the car for up to an hour, However this is a risk. The colder it is the higher the risk. We do not recommend leaving clay, slip, or glazes in your car for longer then necessary during these colder months.

 

  • All Clay
  • All Slip
  • All Glaze and Underglaze
  • In addition to Specialty Items:
  • All Wax
  • SuspendAid
  • Bisque Fix / Clay Mender
  • Rubber Latex
  • AMACO Gum Solution

Restoring Frozen Clay

1. Thaw slowly at room temperature.
Do not apply heat to speed up thawing, uneven drying can cause cracking. Letting your clay warm gradually ensures moisture distribution remains even throughout the block.

2. Wedge thoroughly.
Wedging restores consistency, removes air bubbles, and realigns the clay platelets disrupted by freezing. This step is critical skipping it can cause uneven throwing, cracking, or lamination later during firing.

3. Check moisture levels.
It might seem wetter than usual at first. Continued wedging will redistribute moisture evenly. If your clay still feels sticky or soupy, let it air-dry slightly under plastic wrap for a few hours before using.

4. Test before use.
Roll a coil or pinch a small test piece. If it’s smooth and pliable, it’s ready to throw or hand-build.

Shipping Questions

On the check out page please select your preferred Shipping option and continue to payment.

Unfortunately Rovin does not offer a free shipping option.

If think you have made a mistake, or need further assistance to getting your products shipped please email us.

Orders@rovinceramics.com

If your order is 150 pounds or more, we will ship it on a pallet. Shipping any quantity between 150 and 2400 pounds (the weight limit of one pallet) will be the same price. On average, pallets shipping within Southeast Michigan cost between $167 and $178 per pallet. This cost does not cover inside delivery. Shipping cost is subject to change. If you are ordering from further North or West, or out of state, contact Rovin for a shipping quote.

Rovin uses R&L Carriers for all freight shipments. You may schedule your delivery with Rovin when you place your order. In-state, Ohio, and Indiana have a 1-day to 2-day transit.

Orders less than 150 pounds will be shipped via UPS Ground. Shipping costs for these orders vary significantly, contact Rovin for a quote. Lead time is estimated between 2-5 business days via UPS

The answer depends on how you ship.

1. UPS Shipments (under 200 lbs.)
UPS does not provide freeze protection for freezable items. Rovin will not send freezable items until weather warms up. We will continue to send tools, and supplies that are not under risk of freeze damages.

2. Freight Shipments (200 lbs. and above)
Freeze protection is provided for freight shipments only. Freight will not pick up freezable items on Fridays to avoid the shipment sitting in unheated terminals over the weekend. In extreme cold weather Freight may delay shipments as it cannot guarantee freeze protection, we will contact you if there is any weather delays by our freight partners.

Shipping times are subjective to where you are located and what your order entails. If you are in the tri-state area you can expect a package once processed to take 2-5 days to arrive. We do not ship out on weekends, or holidays.

Raw Material orders may experience a small delay depending on the amount due to the packing and processing of each material you order. Example 10 5# items will need to be weighed out and packaged in addition to packaging for transit.

We will always send your tracking information to the email on the order,

Please Provide your Order #

and any photos you can to help us identify and resolve the issue.

Raw Material Questions

Rovin's price breaks for both raw materials and clay are by the pound. We are not able to measure orders in grams, so you will have to calculate how much material your recipe calls for in pounds. 



There are slight variations in each type of material, though they can be interchangeable in a recipe, they will cause slight changes in results. Consult resources like glazy.com & digitalfire.com and read about the chemical makeup of the different raw material variants ex types of ball clays. take it a step further and conduct some fusion button tests; fire a small amount of the raw materials on test tiles by themselves and compare the fired qualities: color texture, melt, etc. this will give some clues about how it will behave in your clay or glaze recipe.

 

In-Store Lead-times

50 lbs. Bags = Same Day

10 or less weighed out raw material = 12+ business hours (1 Day)

10 or more weighed out raw material = 24+ business hours (2 - 5 Days)

With technical questions please email us with photos, and/or questions.
