Fire in my hand,

A cold ball of fire,

Fire which has changed its shape

Hidden in the clay

                                    …pottery.

Welcome to my web-site.

My name is Yulia Mineeva, I am a studio potter, and this is why my business is called YuMipots. I live and work in the Ligurian Apennines, Italy. 

All my glazes are made by me, and most of my clay-bodies are made by me, or by my partner John Colbeck, from raw materials. Our workshop is eco-friendly.

My pots are made from stoneware and porcelain and fired to cone 10, mostly in reduction, but sometimes in oxidation firing.

My glazes are food safe. My tableware is dishwasher safe.
