Michelle (Mickey) Yeatman was born and bred in the Yarrabah community. She commenced employment at the Yarrabah pottery studio in 1982 as an apprentice mixing raw clay but soon discovered her real love was in hand-building pots. Influenced by Thanakupi, Michelle’s own particular style of applying various designs to the earthenware that she produces has distinguished her in the field of ceramics although she is also an excellent painter and printmaker.
