Nicola Tassie
British Ceramic Artist
“A JUG HAS A LOT GOING FOR IT - IT’S BOTH COMMUNITY & STANDS ALONE, IT’S BOTH FUNCTIONAL & CONTEMPLATIVE. THE HANDLE IS AN INVITATION TO TOUCH & THE SPOUT PROVIDES AN EASY EXIT. IT’S POTTERY’S EVERYMAN & IT’S A FORM I CONTINUALLY RETURN TO MAKING.”
Nicola Tassie is a ceramic artist with a broad-based practice that easily encompasses both wheel-thrown editions of functional pots as well as more sculptural works. Her explorative approach to the material is often displayed in eclectic groups of jugs which compliment and contrast surface, texture and glaze. Nicola continues to work from her studio in east London.
