Each piece in my studio is carefully handmade, making it truly unique.
The crafting process takes one to two weeks from start to finish - a slow, intentional journey that gives every ceramic its own character. As a result, no two are exactly alike.
Natural variations in color, shape, and finish add to each piece’s individuality, meaning it may differ slightly from the product images.
At Chang Creations, we take great care in crafting each piece by hand, ensuring that every item is unique and made with intention. We want you to be completely happy with your purchase and strive to describe and photograph each piece as accurately as possible.

Instructions
Before First Use
No special preparation is needed. Simply wash your piece with warm water and dry it thoroughly.
Daily Care for Tableware
Our ceramics are microwave and dishwasher safe, but to extend their longevity, we recommend handwashing with a soft cloth or sponge.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, as extreme shifts can cause cracking.
Each piece is handmade and one of a kind, meaning subtle variations in color, shape, and finish are natural and add to its uniqueness, so it may differ slightly from the product pictures.
WORKSHOPS
Health & Safety at Chang Creations
At Chang Creations, we care deeply about creating a safe and respectful space for everyone.
Please keep in mind:

Working with clay can involve some risks, including the use of sharp tools and exposure to potentially harmful materials such as silica dust. While we take safety seriously, each person participates at their own risk and should be aware of the nature of working with ceramics.
To help keep the space safe for everyone:
• Keep your workspace clean and tidy
• Remove all clay residues from surfaces
• Be mindful of dust - keeping things clean helps reduce health risks for everyone
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe creative space.
