Gailan Ngan is a Vancouver-based ceramist and visual artist who has been presenting her work professionally for over ten years. Originally from Hornby Island, British Columbia, Gailan began her ongoing fascination with the possibilities of ceramics at an early age, first as a studio assistant - and eventual apprentice - to her father, Wayne Ngan. She founded her own studio, Cornershop, in the Strathcona neighbourhood of Vancouver in 1997, and graduated from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2002.
Gailan's pottery can be found in collections throughout North America, including the Doris Shadbolt Collection at the Helen and Morris Belkin Gallery at the University of British Columbia, and continues to be in demand at design stores, galleries and craft fairs locally and abroad.
