Chris Pickett | 1970 – Present

Nicholas Bivins makes functional high-fired porcelain ceramics, including but not limited to cups, mugs, teapots and vessel series. The reductive minimal aesthetic is accomplished using slip cast abstract forms. The pieces are finished with glazes and decals that emphasize the minimalist forms. The trays the pots rest on are CNC-milled MDF, with automotive paint and rubber.

In 2011, Nicholas Bivens was a Ceramics Monthly Emerging Artist, and in 2012 was chosen as an NCECA Emerging Artist.
