Sandy Simon, a potter, started TRAX gallery in 1995 in a warehouse on the RR tracks in west Berkeley, CA . The focus of TRAX is to showcase exceptional functional ware from potter's across the U. S. commited to making pots. In the 12 years since it's inception, TRAX has gained a national and international following. The majority of the pots are sold online and often pots are shipped to other countries. Sandy's ultimate goal is to grow the audience of appreciation so that TRAX could actually support the life and work of many potters'.
TRAX hosts about 6 solo exhibitions per year and continually carries work by many well known potters. Six years ago Sandy and sculptor husband, Robert Brady, built a new gallery, house and studio at 1812 5th street in west Berkeley adjacent to the hip and happening 4th Street shopping area. Their award winning complex was designed by Berkeley architect, Charles Debbas.
Trax Gallery is open 5 days a week:
Wednesday through Sunday, from 12:00 to 5:30
