Hello
Hi, I’m Nicole, a ceramic artist with a passion for creating unique pieces from the simplest of materials—clay. For the past 9 years, I’ve been exploring the art of pottery, a journey that began under the guidance of my talented aunt, a ceramic artist with over 25 years of experience. Her creativity and expertise inspired me to dive into this incredible craft, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
My Story
Before discovering my love for ceramics, I worked as a veterinary hospital manager for 15 years, where my dedication to animals became a central part of my life. That passion continues today with my furry family of five rescued cats—four of whom showed up unexpectedly during our first summer in Ripley—and a lovable 4-year-old Pug named Bug.
Since opening my home pottery studio in May 2024, I’ve truly found a sense of community here in Ripley. Teaching pottery lessons has been such a rewarding experience, allowing me to connect with others, share my craft, and watch people discover their own creativity through clay.
Pottery is a constant reminder of how we can create something meaningful and beautiful with just our hands and a bit of mud. Each piece tells a story, and I’m honored to share my love for this timeless art with you.
