Dafna levy-Banay | דפנה לוי-בנאי

Dafna Levy-Banay is the name behind studio Orto, located in Tel-aviv. She graduated from the ceramic department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, and won a prize for Excellence in the material work for her final project. After finishing her studies she started a career in the ceramic field, opening her studio for ceramic creation and pottery classes.

‘Orto’ is an Italian word referencing a small vegetable garden located near the house. Levy-Banay chose it as her studio’s name following her motivation to work with the ‘down to earth’ ceramic material. In her work, Levy-Banay is inspired by the desert – where she grew up as a child, and the sea – as she currently lives nearby to it. She crafts decorative and functional pieces, using slip casting molds and the potter’s wheel, and creates pieces made from stone ware clay and porcelain.
