About Me

Welcome to KOpottery.

I create hand-thrown porcelain pottery with layered slip decoration and intricate surface design—what I like to call “fancy porcelain pottery.” Each piece is made with a mindful, meditative approach, where repetition and precision come together to create tactile, visually rich surfaces.

My work is designed to be both functional and engaging—pots that invite touch, elevate everyday use, and bring a quiet sense of beauty into daily life.

From my hands to your home, I’m grateful for your support of my online shop.

                                    Cheers!

Artist Bio:

I was adopted from Vietnam as a baby and raised in Lubbock, Texas. After 16 years of classical ballet training and earning my BFA in Dance from the University of Texas at Austin, I moved to New York City, where I discovered pottery and a new way to express my creativity.

I eventually returned to Austin and spent more than a decade as a production potter and lead thrower, producing hundreds of pieces each week and developing a deep understanding of clay and the making process.

I later became a full-time studio potter, giving me the opportunity to slow down, experiment, and develop my own artistic voice and line of porcelain work.

Today, I’m a full-time potter and educator, creating my work in my studio and teaching others the techniques and possibilities of decorating with slip.
