Thannie Phan is a Vietnamese artist, potter and writer born in Kien Giang, grew up in Sai Gon & Singapore, lived in Auckland, Gadigal Country (Sydney), and now based in Naarm (Melbourne,Australia).

She practices ceramics under “gốm maker" (loosely translated from the term thợ gốm or ceramic worker in her mother tongue. The practice is a physical interpretation of the stories she writes about where she is, where she was, and the people surrounding her life.

The works are hand-built by pinching and stacking very thin coils, using layers of slips, oxides, and glazed by brushing or stamping. The vessels are light, the edges are raw and the palette is restrained.
