NIKO FAR WEST is a small-batch production studio in Portland, Oregon. All designs are by painter and sculptor Nicky Kriara. The studio focuses on decorative planters using a combination of slip-casting, sgraffito, and hand-building techniques.

The name NIKO FAR WEST was inspired by Nicky’s Greek-American ancestors and her Pacific Northwest roots.
