Natalie Priede

Nature has always been the guiding force in Natalie’s life and work. The more she immerses herself in it, the more she learns, discovers inspiration, and connects with her sense of self. Her creative process is never linear; each piece finds its own direction and shapes its own path. For her, balance is not found solely in the process or the finished work, but in the ongoing dialogue with clay. Every form tells a story, born from an exploration of her artistic voice and the possibilities of the material.

Born in Mexico City, Natalie earned a degree in Industrial Design, where she first discovered her passion for ceramics. She later deepened her practice by studying diverse ceramic techniques in Copenhagen and has been working with clay for more than six years. Complementing her artistic path, she also holds a certification in Interior Design from Istituto Marangoni.

Her career in ceramics is distinguished by meaningful partnerships and exhibitions that continually expand and enrich her practice. In February 2024, she collaborated with Loona Universe on the collection “Mi Santuario”, presented in Mexico City, and that same month took part in Convergencias at the Centro Cultural San Pablo in Oaxaca, alongside remarkable Mexican ceramicists.

At the heart of her practice lies the transformation of everyday objects into meaningful, emblematic pieces that foster connection. She believes that we grow as individuals by listening to others, sharing experiences, and building community. With this in mind, her work is created to bring people together, sparking moments of interaction and reflection through the presence of her pieces.

Her approach to making is rooted in the sense of feeling and in the act of sharing. She emphasizes the importance of slowing down, pausing, and embracing calm throughout each stage of creation. From her very first encounter with ceramics, she learned the value of lightness and freedom. Guided by clay and its infinite possibilities—without rules or restrictions—she has built a practice centered on allowing both herself and the material to simply be, in harmony with one another.
