ABOUT MICHELLE LUU POTTERY

My name is Michelle and I am the maker behind Michelle Luu Pottery. I am a former Microbiologist and self taught ceramic artist based in Portland, Oregon. I believe in the art of handmade elements so all my pieces are wheel thrown or hand built. Each piece I create is crafted with care and love for the process in and of itself as well as the final piece it will become. My hope is that these pieces will become part of your daily routines and rituals--from Sunday morning breakfast to family and friend gatherings.

WHAT POTTERY MEANS TO ME

Each piece begins with a lump of clay.  Within this lump, there are infinite possibilities waiting to be expressed.  I love seeing it transform into something truly unique; something that I created with my own two hands.  The entire creative process is incredible-throwing on a wheel, trimming, bisque firing, sanding, glazing, and firing a piece.  For me, pottery is a form of meditation where I am able to let go of the stresses of life.  Just as meditation and yoga are important aspects of my life, pottery is also something that I practice daily, with patience, compassion, and an open heart.
