Maya believes that best pottery lives in your hands, not in the cupboard. That's why she makes pieces that are meant to be used, loved, and borrowed by your best friend who promises to give it back...one of these days. From the ritual morning coffee to that late-night bowl of cereal, Maya's work is functional by nature and quirky by design. All of her pieces are microwave-safe, dishwasher-friendly, and built to withstand daily use.
Working in small batches, Maya makes unique pieces that all carry her signature high-quality finishes. Gently rounded lips (to catch those drips), hand-pulled handles that fit your fingers, trimmed bottoms, and vibrant colour combinations. Select adult-focused chuckle smut pieces offer a giggle or two.
When she's not elbow-deep in recycled clay or praying to the kiln gods, Maya can be found experimenting with new glaze recipes, writing smut to put on mugs, and drinking tea by the litre.
