Lads!!! Who would have thought taking and picking a photo would be so stressful!! π
So here it is anyway the face behind the business!
Iβm Tanya ,obviously! Of Tanya Creed Designs formerly the pottery hut. I create hand built, slab built and slip cast ceramic giftware in my home studio in Clonmel, Tipperary. mostly working with porcelain.
Heres a few bits about me .... π I have a degree in ceramic design which I started in L.S.A.D in 2004, I took a little detour in the middle of 3rd year and had a little baby boy who funnily enough turns 14 tomorrow!! πI then finished my degree in the Crawford in Cork driving up and down every day with a 3 year old cheering me on all the way π πI am now mammy to 3 kiddies! Aged 4, 6 and 14!! And my little fur baby fluffy who you may have seen in my stories, we are joined at the hip! He loves being a studio doggy! So crazy busy all of the time! π I love all things art and crafts!!! Iβm a greedy artist and if I could make another 24 hours in the day I would paint, draw, sew and knit every day!! But clay is always my go to.
π The pieces I enjoy making most are anything related to the sea. The beach is my happy place so when I get to bring any beachscape to life Iβm at my happiest! π I like to get to our mobile home in Wexford every summer as often as I can. I live for early morning sea swims, bbqs and crab fishing with the kids! Side note the crabs are always left back in, the kids race them down the pier!! π¦
π Iβm ridiculously camera shy unless full of cocktails, but Iβm working on it! πnew website launching tomorrow!!! So thatβs enough for now and if you got to the bottom of this post fair play to ya!!!
