On our second trip to Philadelphia we were delighted to meet with the amazing ceramicist Teresa Chang in her lovely studio in Fishtown. We were wowed by her experience and her insights. She has clearly learned a lot through all her years in business. Here are just two things that we picked up:

Amy: I was really struck by Teresa’s philosophy of approaching her business just like she approaches her life. She treats customers the same way as she treats friends and looks for ways to infuse her value system with her business practices.

Adelaide: I was so impressed that she has been able to morph her business several times throughout the years to meet her needs. She has played with several business models and subsequently been able to adjust her hours and income and benefits with surprising results.

Thanks, Teresa!
