Nick first experienced throwing on the potters' wheel as a high school student, immediately fell in love with the process and found both his calling and destiny as a potter. Since then he has pursued studies in clay through local colleges & art schools, including internships at Penland School of Arts & Crafts in North Carolina and Haystack Mountain School of Arts in Maine.

Currently living in New Windsor, Maryland, Nick set up a studio in an old building he renovated himself about 5 years ago at the Shiloh Pottery and built a wood & oil burning kiln next to it in nearby Hampstead, MD. He is a full-time professional potter and periodically travels to work as a journeyman potter for various pottery studios in the mid-Atlantic region.

Early summer 2008, Nick first came to Greenbridge to throw & handle about 50 spiral mugs and several large pitchers in our red stoneware. Since then he has participated in our annual Fall Demo Day, been a big support in production of this year's Holiday offerings of dinner & lunch plates, mugs etc and now shows regularly on our website and gallery. We have also begun to participate in stacking & firing of his woodburning kiln. As a musician, he has also recently been jamming with the Greenbridge Folk Band on banjo & guitar! We feel very blessed to Nick as a friend and kindred spirit in clay, music and many other ways!
