Nic Bassinder (NixieMade)

An artist and tutor based in Northamptonshire, I am inspired every day by nature; exquisite details, fleeting light, and colours of the natural world which find their way into my art. I work in a variety of mediums, including recycled silver, ceramics, leather, seashells and slate, painting, drawing, mixed media, textiles, and printing.

I teach a range of art and craft classes from art to jewellery, fibre arts to printing. Book at my website or request your own workshop! Check out the Craft Workshops photo album on my Facebook to see what we’ve been up to. 

Follow me on social media, and email me to receive the monthly email newsletter containing workshop dates. Join the membership programme as a Sunflower member to receive 10% off your class bookings and shop products for the lifetime of your membership, as well as regular greeting cards and prints. Gift vouchers for shop items and classes are also available.

Creativity, community, and play have immense power to lift us up and calm us down, and this is why I absolutely love what I do…I hope to see you at a workshop soon!
