Studio Tashtego is pleased to announce Natalia Engelhardt's forthcoming solo exhibition highlighting recent works by the ceramic artist. We invite you to join us for a champagne reception and viewing of the show on October 19th from 12pm-3pm.
Natalia Engelhardt's artistic practice is characterized by a movement-oriented approach to hand building ceramics. In a world of extremes, her work investigates the profound beauty in subtlety. A barely there dimple, a gentle slope, or a meandering curve become the components of a quiet rhythm she renders in clay. Natalia's restraint and gestural exploration of form results in works that communicate a sense of quietude. Her glazes are subtle, but rich in nuance and texture.
Central to Natalia's work is her process which is defined by improvisation and spontaneity. She begins the process without precise expectations of what a piece will eventually look like. She strives to balance meticulous craftsmanship with an embracement of the surprising and often uncontrollable aspects of working with clay.
