Christine Luu is the one-woman production behind Tiny Namaste Pottery! She makes all of her ceramics in Southern California at a local studio and in the comfort of her balcony. The pieces are made to inspire, bring out the silliness of their owners, and just be aesthetically pleasing.

After hating the craft in High School she forgot about ceramics for about 10 years until she decided to attempt wheel throwing again while simultaneously climbing out of a funk in her life. This was when she realized that she did not hate it at all. In fact, she LOVED every aspect of it after finding her own style.

Tiny Namaste Pottery is where her pottery mind meets her yoga mind. It is also a play on how Tiny she actually is in real life. In addition, she is a teeny tiny bit of namaste and sometimes a lot of bit of sass.

For as long as she can remember, Angie has had sensitivities to many store-bought products. She realized that certain ingredients would probably be the cause of the problem. So, she began creating my own waste-free product “recipes” for body and household use.

The more she learned, the more she reworked her formulas! It felt good putting the ancient and eco-friendly cleaning ingredients to use. She formulated and tested. Load after load. Small changes… big changes. When finally, she did it…. The new formula worked. The formulation worked and it was here to stay!
