Workshop notes
Ceramics are made to be used. A little care keeps them part of daily life for longer.
Use each piece according to the notes in its Etsy listing. Candleholders, planters, cups, bowls, and decorative pieces may have different surfaces and practical limits.
If a listing does not explicitly say dishwasher or microwave safe, treat the piece as hand-wash only. Handmade glazes and sculptural details last longer with gentler handling.
Handmade ceramics can carry small variations, glaze movement, tool marks, and surface character. These are part of the object, not a flaw, unless the item is damaged in transit.
