Functional ceramic objects that invite thought and meditation.

One of a kind functional ceramic sculptures handmade in New York City.

About the Work

James Hicks studied architecture and ceramics. He makes things in his New York studio — lamps, vases, bowls — that he hopes will hold your attention for longer than most objects do.

Studio Highlights

A curated selection of lamps and sculptural objects from the studio collection.

Process

Each piece begins as a roughly identical slip-cast form. Then the variations begin: cutting, stretching, incising, reassembling, with scalpels and whatever else is at hand. The goal is arrangements that are exciting, beautiful, and maybe a little disturbing. Hopefully all at once.

Working with a designer?

James works directly with interior designers on custom commissions — lighting, vessels, and accent pieces designed around your project. Trade pricing and lead times available on request.

Something specific in mind?

Custom pieces are available. Share what you're imagining — size, finish, function — and James will tell you what's possible.
