Miwako Heverly

Miwako Heverly

Miwa Ceramics comes from her name, Miwako, which means beautiful and peaceful, and that is what she wants her pottery to be - giving a sense of beauty and peace every time people look at and hold them.

There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than using her hands and mind to make something.  She began working in pottery in 2017 and was totally enchanted by its magic - the basic elements of earth, water and fire come together to express artistic authenticity and feeling into limitless shapes, forms and colors. 

Taking inspiration from her heritage, Miwako likes to express Japanese art philosophy and appreciation of nature in her ceramics - grace of simplicity is presented in subtle and understated shapes and forms, beauty of imperfection is shown in asymmetry and randomness in her designs, tranquility is expressed in the peaceful and nostalgic ways she uses nature's motif and hues, and power of absence is demonstrated by purposeful spaces to create balance.
