UNVEILING NATURE'S ARTISTRY:
Where Clay Meets Culture and Craftsmanship.
Hello, I'm Arkady Thompson, a seasoned ceramicist with a passion for hand-built clay creations. With almost 20 years of experience in clay and a lifetime of practicing art and seeing the world from a different point of view, I specialize in crafting sculptures and lanterns. I draw inspiration from the awe and connection I feel with the natural world and the rich tapestry of human history. I hope to help you reconnect with the same joy and connectedness I find in everyday life. Join me on a journey of artistic exploration where clay meets creativity and culture.
ABOUT NATURAL INCLINATIONS
My name is Arkady Thompson and I am the ceramic artist behind Natural Inclinations Studio. I create handmade sculptures and lanterns out of clay, using little glaze and placing an emphasis on the natural beauty of the clay and the subject matter. My artwork is a culmination of many passions and interests and my own drive to innovate, experiment, and push the boundaries of not only the medium, but my skills as an artist. Each piece is created from the mundane elements of earth, air, and water, conceptualized and formed by the artist’s spirit, and transfigured and transformed in the unpredictable element of fire. I truly believe that each piece I create is meant for someone. Welcome, and see if you or someone you know will connect with something. I know it will bring a smile to your face and a spirit of its own to any space.
