Ocean Pool Platter Nicola Martin
Nicola produces unique stoneware pieces with an emphasis on glaze decoration. Her open vessels become the canvas onto which she ‘paints’ abstract images inspired by aerial landscapes.
For her, the connection with the natural world intensifies when each piece is glazed, a process that is further heightened by the alchemy that takes place in the kiln. The outcome is striking contemporary pieces that are sought after by collectors.
Named as ‘The One to Watch’ by Enki magazine in 2022, she has also exhibited at The New Designers ‘One Year In’ Exhibition at The Business Design Centre in Islington and ‘The London Art Sale’, Downstairs at The Department Store, in Brixton.
She constantly strives to develop her work and is currently continuing her studies in ceramics at West Dean College of Arts & Conservation in Chichester.
