Marina Van Raay

Bachelor of Craft & Design, Sheridan College

A DVSA student from a young age, Marina comes from a family of potters and is now a graduate of the Craft and Design Bachelor’s program at Sheridan College. In her own work, she embraces play as a design method, aiming to capture its essence with a process involving accessorizing, collaging and assembling components onto hand-built pieces post firing. She brings that same sense of creative joy to her classes along with a deep understanding of how best to help you develop your ceramic skills and artistic expression.
