Nick’s Thesis:<\/h3><\/div>

I really like making things. I like making useful things, and I like making things just for fun. I like to think with my hands.
Expressing ideas in a solid form is something I deeply enjoy. My first passion was art, but that passion extended into science and now products that combine art and science.
Pictured left is a vase I made in 1977 at the age of 16 from hand dug clay and fired with wood, and on the right a self portrait from 1987 cast in plaster.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Art<\/h2><\/div>

I spent a good portion of my life making things to look at rather than use for some practical purpose. I had a passion to capture ideas and share them in physical form.
