Mary Farrell

Chester Nicodemus is known for mold-made small earthenware birds created with locally sourced clay. Nicodemus also made functional pottery, such as teapots and pitchers, and small animal sculptures.

Nicodemus founded and produced his ceramics at Nicodemus Ferro-Stone Ceramics in Clintonville, Ohio. Upon his death all molds were destroyed.

Nicodemus was also known for large scale bronze sculpture such as fountains.
