Norman Yap

Craft

Norman swapped the big city and the sharp suits for messy overalls and a potters wheel. His work is now shown in the Tate and he sits on the board of the Potters Council.

On his 40th birthday Norman Yap received a book that changed the direction of his life forever, moving him away from the major corporations and into the world of ceramics. The book, “Susan Peterson’s Art and Craft of Clay” inspired him to become a professional potter and his drive and ambition allowed that dream to become a reality.
