About Katy Diver

I love clay! Its flexibility, weight, and texture all inspire me. As I carve and sculpt the clay, the material itself inspires a continuing stream of images, some whimsical, some more contemplative.

Starting with a thick flat slab of clay, I draw and carve the images. After the plaques are fired, I paint them, brushing inks and metallic colors over the textured surface.

Using this technique, I make custom portraits of dogs and cats and houses! They are designed from digital or print photographs.

I also create garden art; these weather-resistant sculptures add magic to the landscape whether they are half-buried in snow or surrounded by flowers. Many include mosaic elements; some are designed as working fountains.

I invite you to contact me if you would like to come to my studio and garden to see current work. My studio is open year round by appointment.
