Nicole Bernard is a lifelong artist, professional communicator, and founder and chief maker of NB Makes, a Dallas-based ceramic jewelry, tableware, and art culture brand that believes a good life is worth making.
NB Makes is a Black, woman-owned business founded in 2020. Nicole’s clay practice centers around creating colored porcelain patterns called tapestries, which are created by hand and inspired by scenes from Dallas life, travel, and architecture. Colored clay is unique because the patterns created are throughout the clay instead of just a surface decoration. Its meaning is uniquely embedded deep within the heart of each piece, a reminder that beauty is always within reach.
