Architecture & Design Crafts & Traditional Arts

Nicholas makes highly functional, uniquely handmade objects for use. The reductive minimal aesthetic found in his work is abstracted from his appreciation for all things precisely done with style. The ceramic pieces are high-fire slip cast porcelain with glaze and decals; the trays the pots rest upon are CNC-milled MDF, with automotive paint.

Originally from the California Bay Area, Nicholas has received degrees from Ohio University (M.F.A.) and the University of Washington (B.F.A., B.A.). He has been an artist-in-residence at Red Lodge Clay Center and is currently a resident at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana where he is the recipient of the Matsutani Fellowship.
