Where Functionality Marries Art
ABOUT NICOLE & JIM
Nicole is a multimedia artist. Her creative visions led her to produce unique items out of assorted materials most of her life.
She has taken numerous classes and workshops from various institutions worldwide to enhance and improve her artistic process.
Spazzleapples creations are made using commercial none toxic glazes and clay from local distributers. Due to the request for my speciality pieces, I do create raku and some none food safe items. Items that are not food safe will be marked and/or expressed to you. See the FAQ page for cleaning instructions.
Nicole met Jim in 2014. He was retiring from the Air Force after 19 years of service. Drawing from their personal hardships and passion to help others they created a way to give back. A portion of the profits are donated to nonprofit organizations in the local community.
Nicole is influenced by historical pottery, the environment, the nature of her Beachy habitat, and the wealth of art she's come in contact with from around the world. Functional artistic pottery is her passion and Jim helps keep this business running like a mermaid’s dream.
