Nicola Briggs creates porcelain ceramics and atmospheric abstract paintings, drawing inspiration from natural textures and the shifting light across landscapes and a muted colour palette inspired by dramatic moody skies resulting in elegant pieces to elevate your interior and inspire you to explore and seek comfort and tranquillity from the beautiful countryside.
Nicola’s work is an exploration of layers capturing light, textures and muted colours inspired by the atmospheric elements of nature and landscapes, evoking an emotional connection of well-being and relaxation to each piece and encouraging you to be present in nature.
Her work has dynamic surfaces generated by layering diverse colours over relief detail and glaze textures, frequently with ripped edges, and concluding with platinum lustre drips during the third fire.
Nicola graduated from Staffordshire University with a BA(Hons) Design: Ceramics Arts degree in 1998 and now works from both her garden studio and Spinners Mill studio. She sells her work in galleries, art shows, and selected stockists throughout the UK.
