Hi, my name is Hannah Mills, I live in Tāmaki Makaurau. A few years ago I discovered a new and exciting passion of mine in pottery and wanted to create fun, happy and colourful pieces to brighten people’s home and days.

During the last lockdown I created my small business. All pieces are hand made and hand painted by myself and it gave me so much joy and something to focus on during the rough times lockdown brings. Now that lockdowns are behind us, I am passionate about sharing the happiness my craft brings me and creating things that will hopefully put smiles on people’s faces!

This last year i have become more interested hand building art to hang on peoples walls. I love the idea of having colourful happy pieces up permanently to enjoy on the daily not just when you use it.

I have recently rebranded to Sunfish Atelier. I wanted a name and vibe that reflects multiple passions in my life and my personality more! I am super excited about the new direction my work is heading and cant wait to bring you all along on the journey!

Every piece you see has been hand painted and handmade by myself either on a pottery wheel or by hand building. Therefore there maybe slight variations across pieces meaning that every piece is unique!

I strive to keep my business eco friendly and sustainable by only using recyclable packaging or reusing materials already on hand. All waste clay is also recycled into new art.
