the potter behind this website
Mea Rhee is a working potter based in Maryland, USA. She launched Good Elephant Pottery as a part-time business in 2002, and made it her full-time work in 2010. What was her previous day job? She spent almost 20 years working as a graphic designer. Her “design brain” comes in handy everyday in the pottery studio, and also gives her the know-how to produce videos and build this website.
