NICOLA CROCKER CERAMICS

“I’ve always loved the feel of clay — there’s something really calming about working with it. Making ceramics gives me a chance to slow down, switch off, and just enjoy creating. No two pieces ever turn out quite the same, and that’s part of what keeps it exciting for me.”

MY POTTERY JOURNEY

I have always loved making.

From an early age I would be knitting, crocheting, making cross stitch and borrowing my Mum’s old Singer sewing machine to make dolls clothes. At the age of 12 I remember my Nan buying my sister and I a knitting machine and we would spend many hours knitting up master pieces! Although on leaving school I did not realise my true vocation in life, it now seems natural that I have ended up working in the craft industry.

In 2007 I embarked on an Art & Design course, followed by a Ceramics Degree. Since then I have been working as a Ceramicist & Teacher, selling my work in Galleries and exhibiting at Sculpture Exhibitions; Teaching and running workshops.

For 8 years I was running a busy community studio in North Devon.  I have since moved my studio back home so I can concentrate on my own work; as well as small group lessons and workshops.
