Best Sellers in… Honolulu, Hawaii By Katlyn Murray

Jeff Chang Pottery & Fine Crafts

Thirty-five years ago, Jeff and Karon Chang quit their day jobs and started producing and selling Jeff’s beautiful artisan pottery full time. After selling wholesale to vendors for years, sixteen years ago the couple decided that they wanted to have more control over where and how their fine craft products were distributed. And that was when Jeff Chang Pottery & Fine Crafts was born.

The store is a family business—their son, Corey, works with them as well. In addition to Jeff’s work, the store features the work of over 300 local artisans, all hand selected by Karon, for whom running this business is truly a labor of love.

The best sellers at Jeff Chang Pottery and Fine Crafts are often Karon’s personal favorite finds. The store sells many pieces of functional art—like the beautiful Kurt McVay glass platters, which can be used to serve food on, or hung on the wall as a stunning piece of décor.
