more about Maia Ming Designs

Value in the details

Crafting Sensory Delights

She uses a pottery wheel to shape clay pieces, refining them by hand. Working with a model maker, she creates plaster molds for slip casting, allowing her to reproduce designs consistently. Clay mixed with water is poured into these molds, and after drying, the hardened ceramics are cleaned and refined. The pieces are dried, fired at a low temperature, glazed, and fired again at a higher temperature. She focuses on texture and the tactile experience, striving to engage all senses. Her designs reflect her life experiences, and people appreciate them when they touch them.
