Mima Ceramics

Mima Ceramics is line of hand-crafted tableware made by Michelle Organ in Toronto, Ont. Each piece is thrown on the wheel, trimmed, sanded and fired in an electric kiln. 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.

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. Each piece is both functional and playful, showcasing the beauty in simplistic design and plays with different clays, textures and colors. Craft and play and years of practice are intertwined. Inspiration comes from everywhere, including clothing, books, history, and domestic life.
