Meet nicole

I’ve been working in clay for over 13 years.

While primarily a wheelthrower, I also find inspiration and joy in the organic nature of sculptural handbuilt work.

My work is influenced by the rock formations and natural wildlife of Southern California and the canyon I call home, as well as the surrounding deserts of the American Southwest.

In addition to creating my own pieces, I also teach in-person ceramics classes in Los Angeles.

Bringing the beauty of outside, inside

Here you will find one-of-a-kind designs that are at once both practical in use and beautiful in form. Objects for the familiar and the ritualistic, celebrating raw materials and their endless possibilities.
