Natalie E Wagner (they/She/HE)

I’m a Chicago-based maker with a passion for creating one-of-a-kind pieces. My approach to ceramics blends creativity with a touch of inviting texture. My functional work is inspired by architecture, tile work and a love of pushing the edge of functionality and design. You can think of them as fancy adult fidget toys hidden in a beautiful object. All of my work is hand crafted, without digital models or molds. I believe our society is removed from the touch of the natural and handmade world. so many people going days without touching something hand made or of nature. I believe in the magic of handmade items to reconnect us with our bodies and inner selves. My work is a love letter to mundane moments. May it bring you joy, peace and a place to settle your hands, eyes and mind.

You can find me at my residency at The Digs in Chicago, IL, where I also teach, and help organize community events. I also teach at Thrown Elements Pottery in Arlington Heights, IL.
