About this episode

Kevin interviews ceramic artist Gayle Fiato about her artistic journey and connection to bonsai.

Welcome back to Bonsai Time. I'm your host, Kevin, and today I’m excited to bring you a conversation with ceramic artist and bonsai potter Gayle Fiato. Gayle has spent decades developing her own artistic voice, creating pottery that is both functional and deeply expressive. In this episode, we discuss her journey into ceramics, her approach to designing bonsai containers, and how her life experiences have shaped the artist she is today. We also dive into her connection to bonsai, her time in Woodstock, the creative influences that continue to inspire her work, and what keeps her motivated to create after all these years. Along the way, Gayle shares stories, insights, and perspectives that reveal the passion and dedication behind every piece that comes out of her studio. Whether you're interested in bonsai, pottery, art, or simply hearing the story of someone who has devoted their life to creativity, there's a lot to enjoy in this conversation. So grab your favorite tree, settle into your workshop, or take us along for the ride. This is my conversation with Gayle Fiato on Bonsai Time. The video version is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠coming soon.
