Caring for Your Handmade Pieces

Handmade objects ask for gentle care. For ceramics, avoid sudden temperature changes and wash by hand when possible. For jewelry, store pieces separately to prevent scratches, and remove them before swimming or showering.

Textiles benefit from occasional airing and spot cleaning. If a piece is made with natural dye, keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods to preserve its color.

With a little attention, handmade work becomes softer, richer, and more personal over time.
