Off-Beat by Nature
Every piece is handmade with care and a healthy dose of creative rebellion. Nothing here is mass-produced or perfectly polished and that’s the point. All of my work is one of a kind, created to add beauty, curiosity, and a touch of the unexpected to the world.

Meet the Artist
Nicole Rininger
I'm Nicole Rininger, a ceramic artist and painter from North Liberty, Indiana. I earned a BA in Fine Arts from Indiana University South Bend, focusing on Drawing and Painting, and later earned a Transition to Teaching certificate from Indiana Wesleyan University. After nearly a decade of teaching art, I discovered pottery at the South Bend Museum of Art and became deeply passionate about it.
Now, I create handmade pottery, along with drawings, paintings (and anything else that has caught my attention at the moment) that reflect my ongoing journey as an artist. I'm always evolving and seeking new ways to express myself.
Thank you for visiting my site. Feel free to check out my art and reach out with any questions.
