Artist and ceramicist Natalie Page is the creative mind and Principal Designer behind NPage Studio. Natalie started her artistic journey in university, where an introductory ceramics class sparked a life-long passion for the medium that continues to inform her design process today.
Functioning as an artist's studio, her works for NPage Studio range from hand built forms for her line to cast work for other projects. The variety of methods make the studio vital and adaptable. Natalie’s process for design is driven by curiosity and the excitement of creation and "playing" in the studio. Moving things around, noticing shapes and the way they interact, pulling pieces from the adjacent wood shop and collaging them together to envision new forms is an essential part of the process. The subtle hand markings embedded on the surface, a bit of the making of the thing is the historical reference to play that remains in the work. This serves as a recognition of the hand made process and creates a personal connection between artist and the client.
Natalie is also the Creative Director and Co-owner of Lostine where she and her husband Robert Ogden of RTO Lighting come together to run the company that designs and manufacturers its own lighting and homewares collections housed in the same building in Philadelphia. In all of her creative endeavors Natalie applies an instinctual approach to design creating objects that balance beauty and utility.
Her personal artworks are available in the Studio Shop.
