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.
