About Fern & her miniature menagerie
Fern Levack has been drawing & sculpting animals since she was a little girl. She's always especially loved creating dogs - capturing their unique scruffy characters into a delightful figurine that holds a magical enchantment, a little heirloom that can live on forever.
Fern graduated with a Bachelor of Design (honours) from the University of Technology Sydney. She lives with her husband & son on the north coast of NSW Australia. She has two Staffordshire terriers, Daisy & Dodge, that are a constant source of amusement and distraction.
The process of making the ceramic dog
Each dog is created using photos and notes that you provide. It starts as a lump of earthenware clay & is sculpted into your dogs form. It is then 'bisqued' in the kiln at 1000° / 2000 F to harden the clay into ceramic. Once porous it's ready to be painted.
The figure is then painted with your dogs unique markings, dipped in a pink powdery glaze and fired again in the kiln to create the luminous glossy final piece, the magical version of your treasured friend. The time from placing your order to receiving your dog is roughly 4-6 weeks.
Neil YoungI had a dog and his name was King,
I told that dog about everything.
Having a dog will give you with many of the happiest days of your life, and one of the worst.

dogs would outlive us all.

He was exactly what we needed and more than we ever expected
