About me
Hello, I’m Linh.
Born in Hanoi's Old Quarter, making clay in Melbourne.
My story
I was born and raised in Hanoi's Old Quarter, a maze of narrow streets where things are still made, mended and sold by hand. I think that is where my love of handmade things began.
I graduated from the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam and have since made a home in Australia. Today I teach kindergarten full time, which is the best training in patience a potter could ask for.
Home is a busy one: three boys, a kitchen that smells of Northern Vietnamese cooking, and a garden full of roses and Australian natives. Clay is where I slow down. Every mug, bowl and vase is made in small batches, to be used every day.

A green thumb
Roses and Australian native plants are my passion. A lot of my vases end up holding something from the garden.
