Nathan Stanfield (b. 1989, California) is a visual artist exploring form with clay. His work explores the connection between density and preciousness, while searching for nuance in moments of brevity. The work is often characterized by its visual weight and heavy impasto application of engobes with aesthetic references being drawn from post-war era artists in a celebration of material. His practice embraces iteration and development, change and experimentation.

His work has been shown and collected across the US. Nathan has participated in residencies at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (ME), Township10 (NC) and the Archie Bray Foundation (MT). He earned an AA in Printmaking from Mira Costa College (CA) and BFA in Sculpture from San Diego State University (CA) in 2014. He relocated to Seattle from Los Angeles in 2025.
