NICCI PARRY-JONES
Moving to Queensland in late 2017, Nicci quit her day job in arts administration to become a full time potter, but her arts practice ranges over 25 years, encompassing ceramics, photography and design.
Nicci's recent focus has been to create one of a kind quirky teapots using a variety of methods, sometimes combining thrown, hand built and sculpted elements. She has a purpose-built studio on Mount Tamborine where she creates her unique pieces and teaches regular ceramic classes and workshops.
Nicci’s says of her practice:
I love to throw on the wheel; it is that quiet timeless space that coalesces 25 years of practice and spontaneous creativity into one action. Then comes the science and an age old process: firing the clay; mixing ingredients like an apothecary; dipping, lapping and overlapping glazes and loading the kiln, hoping the kiln gods smile on you. I feel privileged to be able to work in the field of ceramics, creating forms that offer a haptic intimate experience that only handmade crafts can give.
Nicci’s ceramics are sold under her brand, PJ Pottery
