Nicola Tassie

Ceramic artist Nicola Tassie initially studied painting at the Central School of Art but took up ceramics soon after completing her BA, establishing a studio in Hoxton in London in the 1980’s. She has a broad based practice which easily encompasses both wheel-thrown editions of functional pots - most especially jugs - as well as more sculptural works which explore the expanding precincts of ceramic form.
