Tania Craan

Tania Craan settled in Toronto after graduating from Illustration from Sheridan College. This led to a career as a graphic book designer. Her background in design and illustration brings a unique personal expression to her ceramics. The Odessa Project ceramic studio began in 2020 in the Kingston area.

Asian pottery, graphic design, nature, and a desire to tell a story inspire Tania’s whimsical, functional objects. Tania combines her unique pieces that are either hand-built or thrown in black or white clay with her obsession to draw wherever possible. Raw and glazed areas make them tactile functional objects.

The resonating compass of her practice is to create the harmony of form and function that animates the beauty and life of an object.
