Terms & Conditions
Welcome to Shannon Berry Nature. By purchasing a product, booking a workshop, or engaging with my services, you agree to the following:
​
-
Every handmade item is one of a kind. Variations in colour, texture, and finish are part of the natural story of each piece.
-
Workshop bookings are confirmed upon full payment.
-
I reserve the right to adjust prices, workshop dates, and offerings when needed, while always honouring existing commitments.
-
All content (designs, photos, workshop materials) remains the property of Shannon Berry Nature and cannot be reproduced without permission.
I create a welcoming, inclusive space, and ask all participants and customers to interact with kindness and respect.
Product Care
Thank you for sharing my love for treen - any functional household object made of wood.
Your handcrafted bowl is built to last a lifetime - or longer - with proper care. (Bowls from the Iron Age are still being found today!)
​
Each piece is made from living material, and natural changes over time are part of its beauty.
Care Tips:
-
Hand wash gently with warm soapy water and dry immediately.
-
Never leave standing water in the bowl or basket.
-
Do not soak, dishwasher, or microwave.
-
Store in a warm, dry place away from extremes of heat or moisture.
Oiling Your Bowl:
-
Regular oiling helps maintain strength and beauty.
-
Use food-safe oils like sunflower, rapeseed, vegetable, flaxseed, or hemp oil.
-
Avoid olive oil (which can go rancid) and nut oils if allergies are a concern.
-
Natural inks (such as elderberry) may deepen or soften in colour with use — this is normal. Oiling will slow the fading.
Your piece will age gracefully, becoming more beautiful with each passing year.
For any care questions, don't hesitate to get in touch — I’m always happy to guide you.
