  • 5/5 from Claudia Mayo, attended Oct 2026: so kind and lovely! wonderful experience thank you!
  • 5/5 from Susan Dellio, attended Oct 2026: We had a great time making clay jack-o-lanterns. It was a cozy space with many options to personalize our pumpkins and the conversation made it even more fun. My husband and I had a fun date night and we can't wait to see how our final products look after firing and glazing!

My name is Melanie, and I am a Cambodian, Thai, and Chinese American writer, educator, artist, and daughter of Cambodian genocide survivors. Much of my work is rooted in my heritage, a love of herbalism, my obsession with all things tea, and the belief that art and community can be powerful tools for healing. I studied at UCLA for my undergrad then received my MFA in Creative Writing at SDSU.
Depending on the time of year, you can find me teaching, coaching badminton at my alma mater, sewing costumes for the Haunted Trails, reading, working on my many writing projects, crocheting, sewing, singing, tending to my plants, re-watching episodes from Avatar, the Last Airbender, and/or cuddling my sweet schnauzer, Olliepop, from which Olliepot was named after.
