Mayari of Likha Ng Lupa

Mayari is a ceramic teaching artist. She is currently rooting in Ohlone & Yelamu Land (SF Bay Area), and has lineages tracing back to Bicol and Batangas regions in the Philippines. She has been connecting with the practice of ceramics since 2011, and has been facilitating clay workshops (handbuilding and wheel throwing) for the last three years, teaching in the Bay and in the Philippines. She enjoys creating safe spaces for weaving art, healing and self discovery in the workshops she curates. Reflecting on her own cultural traditions and diaspora, many of her pieces are adorned with work inspired by Filipinx textiles, traditional batok, and native ecology and plants.
