Who is Mim

 

Mim’s reactionary glazes highlight tactility of surface texture, inspired by the rugged Australian landscape and natural geology.

Mim Johnson is a Melbourne based artist and maker. An intrinsic love for clay in childhood was rediscovered when Mim began making ceramics again in a community studio in 2019. 

Mim’s ceramic work is created in limited series and small batches. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish, allowing inherent differences and striking variation.  

Mim creates high fired ceramic art, both functional and decorative.  Her artwork highlights tactility of surface texture often inspired by the rugged Australian landscape and natural geology.  Reactionary glazes feature predominantly throughout Mim’s portfolio, deeply entwining glaze chemistry and ceramic design.
