Michelle Organ

After studying Product Design in NYC, Michelle Organ returned to Toronto and started making ceramics in her parents basement. When that became difficult, she founded and ran The Shop Toronto, Toronto’s first makerspace dedicated to ceramics 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 at Michelle's new studio, Mima Ceramics Studio and Showroom.

Mima Ceramics is line of hand-crafted tableware, featuring wheel thrown and slip cast pieces. Craft, play and years of practice are intertwined in every piece. The constant goal is to have each piece live on seamlessly from her studio into the domestic life of its new owner, to be used and loved daily.

Mima Ceramics Studio and Showroom currently functions as a private studio, educational workshop space and retail showroom. It is located in Toronto's west end.
