Kirsty Adam’s work is both functional and holds aesthetic meaning, retaining the spontaneity and delicacy intrinsic to making on the potters’ wheel. A Japanese comb tool is used to create and enhance the throwing lines. Her Icelandic collection is the culmination of a research trip to Iceland to express the ‘otherworldliness’ of the landscape.
Kirsty is an award-winning ceramicist currently working from her studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. She originally trained at Brighton Art College and then on the potters’ wheel in Japan. She has developed a personal approach to throwing on the wheel using porcelain clay, to produce unique pieces for the home.

Thrown was set up to encourage emerging talent and so we have set up a programme of advice sessions with our director Claire Pearce to provide feedback, help and support to artists and makers.
These sessions can give an insight into the gallery's point of view as well as support with:
- artistic/design direction
- online presence
- photography
- pricing work
- copywriting
A prep sheet will be sent out in advance to provide background information on your work so we can jump straight into each session.
These sessions can be arranged as face-to-face meetings in the gallery, via Skype and even via questions via email.
Testimonials:
