Nicola has delved into the world of ceramics, a medium that has captivated her with its tactile nature and the intimate connection it fosters between artist and material. Drawn to the hands-on process of shaping clay, she discovered a resonance with her already established organic approach to design.
Her vessels are meticulously handcrafted using a variety of clays, each chosen for its unique properties and the way it interacts with the tools and techniques she employs. The construction of each piece is slow and deliberate. The decorative patterns that adorn her vessels are just as essential as the form itself. Nicola employs the wax resist technique to create bold, dynamic patterns that complement the curves and contours of each piece.
