Tiffany Lowery

@thenaturesclay

I am a Southwest Louisiana native who turned her hobby of ceramics into an online small business called The Nature's Clay while juggling college. The Nature's Clay focuses on creating modern neutral designed functional ceramics that are inspired by nature. Currently, my things can be bought through my Instagram or in person at Olive and Indigo. I am currently working on a website that will be released in September. I have been slinging clay since 2018 when I took a ceramic elective and fell in love with it. I am a firm believer in supporting other artists and want to spread the joy of clay to as many people as I can through social media. I am passionate about preserving the Earth we live on and making ceramics inspired by nature. My pastime is filled with finding new projects to DIY, cooking, and anything creative.
