Nick Weddell

USA , 1994

Nick Weddell is an artist who lives and works in Colorado. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from Texas State University (2016) and a Master of Fine Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University (2019). Weddell plays with the archetypes of an expanding range of everyday utilitarian objects: tweaking cups, rugs, and armchairs with a mirthfulness that plunges into our quotidian routines and domestic spaces. Weddell’s work is a catalyst for curiosity, an engineer of absurd delight, and above all a harbinger of joy. Nick Weddell has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana (2019-2021), the Center for Contemporary Ceramics at California State University Long Beach (2019), and at Lefebvre et Fils in Versailles, France (2019, 2023). Weddell’s work has been collected by the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York, and the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, as well as in several private collections in the United States as well as in Australia, China, Japan, Europe, and Canada.
