Clay Wishes or Dreams 
My children are my inspiration and I hope I am an inspiration to them too. I would love to continue to expose them with the process of making and the joy and experience one receives from making. I dream of a movement towards appreciation for all things handmade in everyday life.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I moved from Melbourne, Australia to Savannah GA in January 2015.  Not knowing anyone here I signed up to pottery workshops at Savannah Clay Spot as a way to feel part of a creative community here in Savannah. Having a design background it’s important to me to surround myself with creative people. The clay community in Savannah has been my home away from home! Once I started pottery classes I was hooked and haven’t stopped making since. 
In early 2017 I was fortunate to be approached by a friend to help him make plates for his restaurants, and since then I fell in love with the notion of being able to create a handmade sensorial experience whether it be eating off a handmade plate or bowl or drinking coffee out of a handmade mug. The joy and fulfillment I receive from people who appreciate the process of handmade and how it makes them feel when they use my product drives me to continue to offer a piece of my creative make to the world.

ARTIST BIO

Trang graduated from Interior Design at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia 2014. Soon after she moved to Savannah and established her ceramic practice after falling in love with pottery workshops from Savannah's Clay Spot. She is a full time Interior Designer at Savannah College of Art and Design and runs her pottery practice at her home studio. Her work primally focuses on individually hand thrown on a wheel. Her background in design is transferred  into surface design in some of her pieces, creating an aesthetic that complements classic form and modern functionality.
