RedDoor Gallery Unveils Exquisite New Clay Works by Diane Gale on First Friday

RedDoor Gallery in Camas is pleased to announce potter Diane Gale as its newest represented artist.  Meet Diane, founder of Clayfires and see her new works in clay on exhibit exclusively inside the red door. 

She creates beautiful, functional pottery that reflects both simplicity and balance. She often wood-fires her pieces, allowing ash to melt onto the clay – producing unique patterns and carbon trapping that tell the story of each kiln and firing cycle. Diane’s pottery blends function, form and storytelling. Be the first to see this stunning new exhibit on August 1st at RedDoor Gallery’s popular First Friday reception from 5-8 pm. 

Diane’s work has been exhibited internationally, and her work is featured in galleries and exhibitions across the U.S. Her educational background is both traditional – from colleges imparting foundational techniques, as well as from specialty workshops with potters such as Paul Soldner, Patty Warashina, Tom Coleman and Ruthanne Tudball. Diane’s greatest influence emerged during her juried residency in Tokoname, Japan, where she lived while studying Japanese culture, throwing techniques and wood firing. Her preference is for simple shapes with an organic surface; asymmetrical, irregular and altered pieces reflect the reality of our imperfections.

Diane’s passion for clay spans over 30 years and continues to evolve – embracing its versatility and her life experiences. Her pieces are her stories and she is honored to share them with art collectors with the hope they find a part of their story in them too.

The August 1st artist reception will also feature new original art with an opportunity to meet many of the 13 talented local artists of RedDoor Gallery. Visitors can engage in conversations with the creators behind the work, gaining insight into their inspirations, techniques, and artistic journeys. Complimentary refreshments and an inviting ambiance make this an anticipated cultural gathering in Camas.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply enjoy being surrounded by beautiful art, RedDoor Gallery’s Friday, August 1st reception promises an evening of inspiration, connection, and artistic celebration. Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience the best of  local art in a cool, welcoming space.
