FAQs
Microwave and Dishwasher?
All the pottery sold by Sweet Earth Ceramics is dishwasher and microwave safe, unless otherwise indicated. However, hand washing will prolong the life of any ceramics. Be aware of thermal shock when putting ceramics into the oven or microwave, or into the freezer.
Thermal Shock?
To avoid thermal shock, avoid sudden dramatic temperature changes. As with all ceramics, avoid thermal shock by not exposing your pottery to rapid temperature changes. Never put a plate from the fridge into the oven or microwave, never put a hot dish into a sink of cold water or the freezer.
Shipping Costs?
Shipping is charged based on an 8" by 8" box. If your order is significantly smaller or bigger than this, I may be in touch with you to either refund shipping costs, or let you know about extra shipping costs.

Sustainability and Packaging?
I pack with kraft paper, twine, wildflower seed paper and a compostable shredded paper. I am always looking for further ways to be plastic-free and sustainable.
Giving Back?
Anti-racism and environmental justice are issues that I am passionate about and always striving to intertwine within my work. I will continue to update about ways in which you can join me in contributing to and pushing for social and environmental justice.
