Nickolai Globe
missionhousestudio.blogspot.co.ukI produce individual studio ceramics, influenced directly by the physical environment of the rugged North West. My new work takes ceramics to the edge of craft, where sculpture and function merge. My high fired stoneware bowls and vessel forms become geological and carry with them a deep reflection of the terrain. Drawing from elements of Zen and the unpredictable, my work reflects, rather than emulates nature.

Nickolai worked with the COBRA Group ceramic artist Erik Nyholm in Denmark. He worked with Erik on large scale architectural ceramics and sculpture. Following Denmark, Nickolai studied traditional woodfired production under Tim Holloway. Here he gained discipline in producing traditional, functional, woodfired, stoneware pottery whilst studying ceramics at Southampton University.
Now he has fused himself to The Isle of Harris. High fired earthenware, porcelain, stoneware and local minerals is his palette, the terrain of the Hebrides his muse. His new work takes ceramics to the edge of craft, where sculpture and function merge.
