Natania Hume

I am the creative force behind Slow Studio. I've worked primarily in clay for almost 20 years. I was born in New York City, but spent my formative years amidst rural academia in Amherst Massachusetts. When I discovered clay at the Massachusetts College of Art years ago, I knew immediately that it was a material which I inately understood.

The natural world provides me with endless color, form and texture ideas which have informed my work in clay and also have lately found their way onto the Slow Studio Field Journal line of hand block printed linen home textiles which complement my ceramic ware with similar earth- toned colors and simple rustic designs.

I teach art and ceramics at an independent boarding and day school and reside in the countryside of New England. I  produce both Slow Studio lines of ceramic tableware and Field Journal linen textiles at my farmhouse studio in Vermont.
