Hi! I’m Michelle - the hands and founder of MYRE STUDIO.

MYRE STUDIO is rooted in the mire of the earth, where raw material is taken by my hands and shaped slowly into form. This ceramic business runs on a small quantity drop basis.

When I first started pottery, I was in a season where I lost myself. I had spent so much time trying to be what others needed me to be that I stopped recognizing who I was. I didn't even know what I liked or disliked anymore.

Clay became the thing that brought me back. The moment my hands first touched it, I knew immediately it was something I could fall in love with. Eventually, I decided to make this into something bigger.

That’s when I found the word "mire". Defined as wet, spongy, muddy ground, I liked how this word wasn't the traditional description of clay. However, I wanted to further make this my own.

So I decided to change the spelling from “mire” to “myre”. Because this journey isn't simply about clay but about my wet, soggy, muddy ground that slowly molded to form who I am today.

MYRE STUDIO is a reminder to myself that I am who I am through the choices I’ve leaned into, not for the pleasing of those around me but for myself. It’s about the continual molding of who I will become.
