DAJO-4G Pottery

Dajo-4G Pottery is the United States-based extension of the internationally renowned Dajo Pottery Ltd of Nigeria. Founded by Master Potter Levi O’Bem Yakubu – MON, NPOM, FSNA, Dajo-4G Pottery represents the fourth generation of a proud Tiv pottery tradition reimagined for a global audience. Headquartered in the U.S., Dajo-4G serves as both a creative hub and cultural ambassador, connecting Africa’s rich ceramic heritage with modern innovation and design.

At its core, Dajo-4G Pottery embodies a legacy of excellence, authenticity, and transformation. It was established to expand the global footprint of Dajo Pottery’s award-winning designs and to create a platform where traditional African craftsmanship meets contemporary ceramic technology. The “4G” in the name not only signifies four generations of potters from the Amachigh-Dajo family line but also speaks to the company’s core pillars: Generational knowledge, Global vision, Groundbreaking innovation, and Genuine cultural heritage.

Through Dajo-4G, Master Potter Yakubu and his team engage in ceramic production, exhibitions, design consultations, cross-cultural workshops, and art residencies that promote knowledge exchange between the U.S., Africa, and the broader global ceramics community. The studio creates signature marble ceramics, functional wares, and fine art pottery, drawing on both local raw materials and advanced digital ceramic techniques. These include the use of high-resolution imagery fired onto ceramic surfaces, a hallmark of the Dajo identity.

In addition to producing and showcasing exceptional ceramic art, Dajo-4G Pottery is committed to education and empowerment. The company partners with schools, art institutions, museums, and community organizations to provide hands-on training, lectures, and artist exchanges. These efforts reflect the founder’s lifelong passion for mentoring the next generation of potters and promoting ceramics as both a sustainable industry and a vehicle for cultural storytelling.

Whether creating timeless pieces inspired by Tiv heritage or pushing the boundaries of ceramic art with digital innovation, Dajo-4G Pottery stands as a living bridge between tradition and modernity, Nigeria and America, artistry and industry. It is more than a pottery studio—it is a movement shaped by legacy, excellence, and purpose.
