NATURE IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
​The Nature Atelier explores the intersection of art and nature. We aim to inspire a deeper connection to the environment, our communities, and ourselves.
MEET ANGELA
Angela Ruggles (founder/owner) is a nature and art educator with over 20 years of experience in education, art, botany, and research. She found her way to clay through archaeology, where she had the opportunity to study and catalog ancient pottery. Angela dove back into her own art practice in 2021 and fell in love with clay again. Since then, she has combined her love of plants and clay into nature-inspired functional pottery and enjoys inspiring others to get messy and creative. When she isn't working in the studio or teaching an art workshop, she is outside gardening and exploring the PNW with her twins, husband, and pup Hugo.
Angela is also a certified (E-RYT 500, RCYT ) yoga instructor and leads movement classes and trainings for children and adults.
