Background

About Fay de Winter

Since graduating in 2004 from Central Saint Martin's, I have participated in many events and exhibitions in England, Japan, Bali, Milan, Bahrain, Dubai and the USA. I ran a business and ceramic workshop at a National Trust property in Morden Hall Park (5 years of trading), 2005-2010. In 2010, a workshop was built at home to support me during my MA studies and is now used as a studio to aid my professional practice. I was commissioned to write an introduction book for all ages, called 'Make it with Air Dry Clay', published in January 2017 by Lark Crafts in the USA and Search press in the UK. I had an active role as a London Potter council member, previously organising exhibitions and events for 12 years and contributing articles to the newsletter. I was nominated and elected as the Chair in October 2017-2021. I was selected by the Craft Potters Association and voted by members to be elected as the new Associate Representative in October 2018-2021. I am a ceramics teacher at Sutton and Morley college since 2005 and have worked at various studios in London. I now run my own mobile miniature pottery workshops at public and private events and wellness workshops for businesses in the UK. These opportunities have furthered my experience as a ceramicist, with mufti-faceted views, skills and roles adopted in relation. As a person I am an enthusiastic, out-going, organized and a considerate individual, eager to learn and develop skills continuously. In the future, I aspire to develop my business further, to attend residencies and to continue to exhibit internationally, as well as completing a PhD.
