Nicole James

There is no better feeling than starting a journey with a piece of clay, working it into a pleasing shape, then watching it transition through fire to become something beautiful and permanent.

I enjoy making lovely things out of clay for myself, and for others. I like to make functional and decorative pieces, mostly wheel thrown. Using stoneware clays, I prefer classic shapes and glazes, with a bit of oxide brushwork whimsy every now and then.
