Diana Fayt is a ceramic artist and designer who creates unique pottery pieces that are more art than craft. Her pieces each seem to tell their own story and she has had solo shows in the U.S. and Tokyo. Creating each piece takes around 13 steps and pieces like the large bowl shown above can take up to seven hours to complete not including the 23 hours of kiln time. Her work is handbuilt with molds she makes herself and all the drawings are her own freehand illustrations which are etched in clay using found objects such as old hand forged nails. The bowl shown here measures 10.5" x 5" and has hand etched and painted dogwood flowers in a light creamy yellow with a crackle finish. It sells for $335. She also keeps a blog!
