Clay By The Bay is thrilled to be hosting Diana Fayt (@dianafaty) for our JANUARY 2023 workshop artist.
100% of the registration proceeds will be donated DIRECTLY to the artist, to support the ever growing community of talent we strive to nurture
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Diana Fayt is a ceramist, illustrator, and teacher. Her ceramic pieces are part folklore and part personal narrative, documenting both real and imagined stories. Diana’s work can be found in a myriad of public and private art collections both in the United States and abroad. She has been featured on the cover of Ceramics Monthly as well as in numerous international and American Publications, such as The Journal of Australian Ceramics, American Craft, Domino, and Sunset Magazine. Her roster of clients include Heath Ceramics, Anthropologie and Terrain. Diana has taught workshops at Arrowmont School of Crafts, Santa Fe Clay, Metchosin School Of The Arts, Sierra Nevada College, The Potters Studio, Clay Gulgong as well as pioneering early online ceramics education with her self-created teaching platform, The Clayer. A graduate of California College of the Arts, Diana currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon with her partner and two pups.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
During this workshop Diana will demonstrate how to make and use newsprint transfers,
reusable stencils and teach you her signature surface etching and finishing techniques. During the workshop she will share how she combines all these surface techniques, together, to create rich, dynamic surfaces. You will come away from the workshop having learned multiple surface techniques that you will be able to use individually or together in multiple ways.
WORKSHOP MATERIALS REQUIRED: TBA
WORKSHOP TIME & LOCATION: Friday night will be an Artist Talk from 7-9pm where everyone in the community is invited to meet & greet the artist and hear more about their craft!
