psychedelic narwhal tops

Calling all tie dye lovers!

When I first started making Nicola Narwhal designs, I wanted it to be a style that made people feel bright and shiny like unicorns of the sea! Little did I know that I would start finding ways to put my designs on bold and brilliant tie dye shirts! Maybe I should have expected this…I was totally the college girl making tie dye everything in her dorm room. Anytime I had a white clothing item that lost its luster, it was immediately saved for a tie dye adventure. Now, I can fuse my love of bright prints and colorful graphics with my tie-dye tops! This is such a fun development for me. I hope you enjoy it too!

Share your stories with me: Have you ever gone on a tie-dye binge?

I’m freaking out! I just started uploading my art to RedBubble and I love how my art looks on shirts and all kinds of swag! It’s super cool and helps support me! Check out my stuff here.

Eugene SATURDAY Market

Posted on October 15, 2022October 26, 2022 by nicolarose in Uncategorized

I have recently started selling my work in Eugene at the Saturday Market! This has been a great step for me. It has been a very rewarding time to be out in the community, selling my art, and interacting with people about what I’m passionate about. I’m not out there every weekend, but when I am you can find me close to the spaces listed below.

I am also getting ready for this year’s winter market! I’ll be in booth #114. Find out more about the market here.

And, thank you to all who have supported me. This is an exciting time for Nicola Narwhal and Earth to Rose. I’ll continue to have my jewelry and stickers available…but I’m also making more ceramic creations (under my Earth to Rose side) to bring to the market. I can’t wait to share what I’ve been creating!

The Teapot Show

Posted on April 27, 2018 by nicolarose in ceramics, Uncategorized

The Teapot Show at Humboldt State University occurs every year in the springtime. During this annual show, ceramic teapots of all varieties are placed on display. Last year was the first time I displayed a “fabric” teapot – a style I have continued to work with through this year. The technique of building with clay like it is fabric has continued to be a playful and inspiring style for me, and I am excited to see how it evolves. During last year’s show, I had some luck and sold the teapot “Untitled”. This year, I have two teapots in the show: “Springtime Teapot” and “Circus Teapot”. I am really enjoying the variation in the three teapots and hope you do too. If you’re in the Arcata area, you can view the Teapot Show until the end of August at HSU. The show itself is in the Student & Business Services Building.

Woven Earth Gallery Show

Posted on April 21, 2018April 24, 2018 by nicolarose in Uncategorized

This past month, I was featured as one of two artists in the self-titled show “Woven Earth” at Humboldt State University. We chose the name because both myself and the other artist, Nichole Vasquez, use clay to mimic non-clay materials.

Through my pieces, I focus on fabric and how clay can be used to imitate cloth or how woven materials can be used directly on a piece. Nichole Vasquez’s style of hand building with porcelain makes clay look like woven grasses, creating cultural forms in a new medium. Both of us use our work to explore the limits of clay and encourage the viewer to consider the elements presented.
