Michelle Organ
Mima Ceramics is line of hand-crafted tableware made by Michelle Organ in Toronto, Ont. After studying Product Design in NYC, Michelle returned to Toronto and founded and ran The Shop Toronto, Toronto’s first makerspace solely dedicated to ceramics and craft, for 9 years before making the difficult decision to close the studio in April, 2022. Mima Ceramics was started at The Shop but now lives its own life in her own studio.
Currently, all pieces are wheel thrown and fired in an electric kiln. The constant goal is to have each piece live on seamlessly from studio into the domestic life of its new owner, to be used and loved daily. Every piece is functional yet playful, showcasing the beauty in simplistic design while playing with different clays, textures and colors. Ancient forms are contradicted against modern design details with craft and play and years of practice all intertwined.
