Mark Your Calendar: Diana Fayt at Heath Ceramics

Sausalito's Heath Ceramics kicks off its summer workshop series, "Etchings in Clay," later this month with Printmaker’s Clay Tiles, led by San Francisco ceramic artist Diana Fayt.

The hands-on class will "explore various printmaking techniques used on leather, hard, and bisqued tiles -- using underglazes, old letterpress type, etching, image transfer, and drawing to create one-of-a-kind tiles with multi-dimensional surfaces." The two-day workshop takes place on Saturday, June 21, and Saturday, June 28. The cost is $110 plus a $20 materials fee, and reservations are required.
