i’m natalie! the person behind honeydew moon studio. i’m a michigan native and received a bfa in general fine arts, concentrating in ceramics and book arts at maryland institute college of arts. now residing in ann arbor michigan slinging pots.

i make both functional wares and decorative work that create a space for curiosity (as well as a bit of magic). each piece is unique and represents a dedication to detail and a love of whimsy.

I am inspired by the beauty and struggle of the stories we experience, often locating the peace and whimsy in moments that were once boring or mundane. Through color and form, my work dances in a world of play and curiosity. I reveal characters pulled from personal, historical mythologies, and fairytales and give them an emotion or gesture that you might connect with; perhaps you recognize an old friend, a past lover, or yourself. It is through these connections and more that I am inspired to create, ultimately to share my own stories and the stories that others have generously shared with me.
