natalie Blake
Natalie Blake is a Vermont based ceramic artist, who translates the patterns she finds in sound, energy and the elements into dynamic wall sculptures.
She began her professional career in 1994 after winning the prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowship in Ceramics. Natalie traveled the world studying with indigenous artists from Indonesia to Nepal, and returned to create her unique line of carved vessels, urchin lids, and hand-sculpted tiles in Southern Vermont. Her work quickly gained exposure through art shows like the Smithsonian Craft Show and the American Craft Exposition, and Natalie’s exploration of the ceramic arts has deepened over 30 years.
Natalie continues to expand her repertoire of Pods and Dune Tiles, with new designs, styles, colors, and shapes coming out of the studio with each new custom project.
The majority of Natalie’s work is focused on large scale custom Public Art Installations.
