Mia started working in ceramics in 1991, before receiving a QEST Scholarship in 2004 for her work with hand thrown and hand painted porcelain. She was a studio potter for many years supplying a wide range of shops, galleries, museums and other organisations as well as undertaking private commissions across the UK and abroad. In 2021, Mia faced a significant health challenge that meant she could no longer make ceramics full time.
She is now practicing as a full time therapeutic coach, and uses her personal experience in service of helping others, including working with people interested in overcoming challenges in their creative and artistic pursuits. She stays connected with clay in her free time through making smaller, privately commissioned projects.
