Natalia graduated in 3D Design from the University of the Arts: Camberwell College of Arts in 2018. Central to her practice is a desire to strengthen the link between a potter and their natural surroundings by exploring local clays and ashes.
QEST is supporting Natalia’s next step towards setting up a studio combining pottery with history and geology: a two-year, skills-based Diploma taught by working potters at Clay College Stoke, a new school in the heart of the Stoke-on-Trent potteries. The syllabus is designed to create technical specialists and business-conscious makers to protect and augment British studio ceramics.Â
