Nichola Theakson 15

She began working with a bronze foundry around five years ago. Prior to this she had been making limited edition ceramic sculptures pressed from plaster moulds, alongside one off unique ceramic pieces. The new direction allows her to alter the focus towards the more creative unique pieces in ceramic as editions are now cast in bronze. Recently she has been developing her patination skills, to achieve the finish she is happy with.

Besides exhibiting at leading Ceramic and Art fairs in UK and Europe, she has had work selected and exhibited for 'Wildlife Artist of the Year' in London, raising funds for endangered wildlife, and has had several works catalogued and successfully auctioned at Bonhams, London.

Public collections include The Weiner Museum of decorative Arts in USA, WMODA. Recent Commissions have included designing and making trophies for Lush Cosmetic's 'Lush Prize', rewarding initiatives within the world of science and lobbying toward bringing animal testing to an end. www.lushprize.org
