Pat Grayston

Pat Grayston is a retired high school teacher. While she was still working, she had been learning about and creating art during the summers and through evening classes. Upon her retirement, she attended the University of South Australia for one year, then returned to the University of Saskatchewan to complete her BFA.

In 2003, she moved the barn her father built to her home and had a printing press installed in the loft. Pat produced intaglio and reduction wood cuts. She also had a pit dug for pit fired pottery. She produced naked raku and horse hair pottery, and was a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council.

In recent years, due to an illness, Pat has switched to fabric, producing botanicals, cyanotypes, and print pastes from natural dyes and indigo, both bound and stitch resist. She lives just north of Shellbrook on highway #55, with her red studio on the river hill being a landmark.
