About the Artist

Functional Art with a Handmade Touch

Nik has been creating art for as long as he can remember, using his passion for creativity as the foundation of his crafts. Beginning with drawing at a young age, Nik developed strong artistic skill sets that led him to work with a wide variety of materials, including metal, leather, glass, clay, and wood.

His creations range from beautifully crafted glassware and marbles to functional pieces like hand forged knives and sheaths. Each piece is thoughtfully handmade, showcasing his commitment to craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for both artistry and utility.

With years of experience building and honing his skills, Nik combines technical precision with a love for artistic expression, resulting in work that feels both timeless and fresh. Whether it's the polished finish of a glass vessel or the carefully forged edge of a knife, every item is designed with the intent to serve as both a work of art and a functional tool in everyday life.
