ABOUT US

Hand-crafted and hand-painted ceramics and woodworking.  Made in our studio, tucked away in a corner of the basement, all of our pieces are made with a passion for the craft.  

Beautiful woodworking for the home and yard; live-edge, unique species, and reclaimed wood transformed into handsome furniture you'll love.

Our ceramics and pottery are a mix of wheel throwing, slab building and slip castings from vintage ceramic molds.  Hand painted, glazed, and fired in our kiln, these pieces come into the basement as a humble slab of clay and leave a piece of beauty.

We began our pottery journey in the fall of 2022 with the purchase of a cheap, simple wheel to try and throw some pots.  Set up in the cold basement, with terrible lighting, we tested it out.  Love at first throw!  We couldn't stop!  Soon there were 'bowls' covering every spare surface.  Soon after that there was a kiln taking up even more of our precious space.  And then there were glazed things everywhere! And then we disovered slip-casting!... and then we ran out of space.  It was then we decided that we could make something out of this new found passion and set our sights on creating a brand and selling our wares.   So now here we are, making something new everyday and loving every piece of art our hands create.

Who's MiKao? ... We are! MiKao comes from a mash up of 'Mike & Kailey'.  When our oldest nephew first started talking it was pretty difficult to articulate "Uncle Mike and Auntie Kailey", so when asking where  we were the question came out "Where Mi, where Kao?" Well, it was too cute not to repeat!  We have been 'MiKao' ever since.
