Hi, I'm Mikki Helmer, a potter, an author, and a horse rider. Night Craft Co. came to exist after an unfortunate series of events at the start of the covid pandemic, which left me grieving and jobless. So I became a potter and started throwing pottery 18 hours a day in my mom's studio and learned in a few months what most ceramic artists take years to master.

I came to Pottery after a horrible start to 2020 that left me jobless and grieving all in the same week. My mom opened her studio to me, and I wanted nothing to do with her "strange mud art." Anyway, now I run an entire shop and help manage a studio.I work out of my family's studio, Hobble Creek Pottery, along with my mother, Tiffinie Helmer, and my sister, Tess Reid (The Naptime Potter).

I typically take the night shift, hence the name "Night Craft Co."I specialize in wheel-throwing quirky and fun designs for everyday household items. Now and again, I make some sculptural pieces, but you're more likely to see something based in fandom from these hands that's meant for daily use with a touch of campy humor.
