Natalie Pappas

Natalie Pappas is a New Mexico ceramic artist and potter with more than 20 years of experience. Working from her studio, she creates expressive functional pottery, hand-coiled and wheel-thrown mugs, bowl, and pots, whimsical whistles, and individually handmade ceramic beads and jewelry. 

 Her beads have been featured in Lark Publishing’s "1000" Beads and in a necklace published in "Bohemian Inspired Jewelry". 

 Her pottery combines richly layered slips, underglazes, botanical motifs, lively marks, and small sculptural details that reward a closer look. 

 Each piece develops its own personality, reflecting Natalie’s love of color, humor, the handmade, and the beauty of the Southwest.
