Teresa Chang

As a practical ceramist who loves food, my passion for everyday tableware is natural. I credit many influences for my design sensibilities: early Korean and Japanese pottery, my architectural studies and an appreciation for simplicity instilled by my mother. For me, there is something inherently beautiful about forms pared down to their structural essence. Thus, in my work there is no applied decoration, no excess in shape, mass, or profile. All work is made of porcelaneous clay thrown on the potter's wheel.
