About Nada Spencer

Nada Spencer is a full-time ceramic artist living in Cape Town, South Africa.

She loves the freedom in ceramics to explore a variety of forming and decorating techniques. She views clay as a mouldable canvas, and draws inspiration from botanical textures and life drawing. She makes both functional and decorative ceramics, ranging from large platters and wall installations, to small earrings and pendants. She loves the tactile nature of clay, and how people respond when they pick up and hold a piece.

She received her Bachelors in Architectural Studies from the University of Cape Town, but chose to pursue a different career after falling in love with clay.

She is currently very involved in Ceramics Southern Africa as the Western Cape chairperson. She is passionate about supporting artists and promoting ceramics.

Good instruction, beautiful portraits

I'm so anxious to practice this technique. Attached is my first attempt. I am not an artist so basing the image on my own photograph is ideal. The pdf could have been a bit more specific but -Nada answered by question via Instagram- she uses undereglaze Gun Metal Grey from Clay Bright.

Incredible course!

Because of this course, I was able to make this piece to gift to a grieving mama. This is my grandson Ethan. He passed from cancer at 15. Such inspiration.
