Moving between hand building, wheel throwing, drawing, and mixed media, he has focused most of his own artwork on clay and imagery. Nathan is always looking for ways to use imagery to comment on the world, inserting messages of personal and social commentary on issues that affect us all. With a love of learning, he embraces nearly all facets of the ceramics process and the potentials within the medium. He has a passion for learning, teaching, and sharing his knowledge. Besides teaching and making his artwork at BGCW, he also undertakes art commissions as well as ceramic and plaster repairs of various kinds. “The first time clay was introduced to me was around second grade. As a class, we had to walk our little handmade pinch pots down into the boiler room of the school where the kiln was kept. There was so much mystery in that experience, and I have found a similar mystery in this life long learning to discover ways to create art and message making using the ceramics process.” Nathan studied art as an undergraduate at Herron School of Art and Design, earning himself a BFA in late 2009. He went on to volunteer at the Indianapolis Art Center, which led to many opportunities including teaching, assisting the studio tech, and creating new art work. During his time at the IAC he was accepted to the University of Notre Dame, where he continued his work and earned an MFA in 2015. Nathan has also taught as an Adjunct Professor at the University Notre Dame and Ivy Tech Community College. He has been with Beech Grove Clay Works since 2016 as artist in residence, then to studio manager, and finally taking over ownership of the studio in 2022.
