Nathan Cox

Nathan is a self-taught potter who began working with clay in 2021. He enjoys throwing on the wheel and focused early on learning to throw larger portions of clay to create bigger forms. While living on Wilson Hill Island in Massena, he founded Seaway Ceramics, inspired by his location on the St. Lawrence River, so that he could begin selling the pots he had made.

Nathan now lives in Brusthon, NY, where he has transformed a former horse barn into a functional pottery studio. In addition to throwing on the wheel, Nathan also enjoys hand-building and plays with sculpture. He makes serving trays, mugs, and vases, which he decorates using weeds plucked from the fields behind his barn. Nathan works primarily with stoneware, which he fires in his electric kiln, but also enjoys experimenting with other clays and firing techniques.
