Arty Nicharee is a visual designer, maker, and creative facilitator.
Originally from Bangkok and now based in London, the maker and a graduate from the Royal College of Art uses illustration, graphics, and ceramics to trace the contours of memory, femininity, queerness, and the diasporic experience.
Recently, Arty has embraced hand-built ceramics as a vital tool for grounding and community building.
Her clay objects often celebrate the heritage and characteristics of her East and Southeast Asian background, serving as tangible anchors in a fast-paced world. Central to her philosophy is "craft against commodification." By exclusively using reclaimed materials, she breathes new life into discarded substances, a quiet act of defiance against market pressures and a celebration of the overlooked.

Group Exhibition at County Hall Pottery
This project explores the integration of Thai Malai, or traditional flower garlands, into a series of functional ceramic household objects. By reinterpreting the intricate form and deep cultural meaning of the Malai, I created a collection that brings a sense of warmth, respect, and vibrant energy into the domestic space, particularly during the colder, darker months.

Housewarming
Shoes Off Collective’s debut exhibition
A housewarming ceremony celebrates settling into a new home, marked by auspiciousness and joy.
With the same spirit, we domesticate the remains of a dilapidated house with a collection of finished and in-progress work.
We explore themes such as our shared heritage, identity, folklore, the commodification of creativity and personal narratives.
Through sculpture, moving image, ceramics, painting, textiles, photography and performance, our work reveals a compulsion to seek understanding and genuine exchange. What is home, if not in other people?
