Dyana Fiediga is a full time potter living and working in beautiful Hood River, Oregon at the Clay Commons, a community ceramics studio located downtown Hood River.

Andrea Swift’s pottery journey began, first, with being a collector of it 25 years ago. As a collector, Andrea loved that everything she bought was one-of-a-kind.  After relocating due to her husband’s job, Andrea decided to take an 8-week class at a community studio to pass the time while waiting for math teaching positions to open up.  Andrea was instantly hooked and within the year, set up a small home studio in her basement and hasn’t looked back since.
