Nicola Briggs is a Manchester-based artist and ceramicist whose work reflects her deep connection to nature. Hand-building each porcelain piece, she draws inspiration from natural textures and shifting light. Her Silhouette collection captures windswept Hawthorn trees in muted, moody tones, layering textured glazes with platinum lustre drips that catch the light.

For Nicola, art is a sanctuary—a way to reflect and reconnect with nature. Long walks through changing landscapes inspire her ceramics and acrylic paintings, where washes, drips, and expressive marks convey nature’s raw beauty.

Her work embraces the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, celebrating imperfection and organic rhythms. Hand-shaped porcelain vessels feature subtle relief textures and layered glazes that echo the earth’s patterns. Designed to bring tranquility into the home, her ceramics invite quiet contemplation and a connection to the landscapes that inspire her.
