handmade pottery, just for you

Mena Dragonfly is the work of Melanie Mena, welcome to my website.


Last Fall the organizers of the Toronto One Of A Kind Show made this video of me making Mini Bowls:

I love to make pottery & I’m driven by the desire to share my pottery with the world. Nothing makes me happier than hearing stories of how the pottery I made is being used and enjoyed. I make functional, beautiful pieces that you can keep for special occasions (like when you’ve crossed that last thing off your To Do list) or use every day, like a favourite mug for your morning tea.

In 2010 I made a big life change and turned my creative hobby into my creative business. It was a very good year, 2011 was crazy and the adventure is just continuing in 2012.

I have three lines of pottery: The Dragonfly, Dots! and Wobbly Shotglasses.

For the latest news and announcements sign up for my newsletter and I’ve got a blog too.

Most of all, thank you for being here.
