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.

CommonObjects was founded in 2017 by London-based ceramic designer Sarah Cranke.
Her work focuses on practical pieces inspired by architecture, graphic design and minimalism. Most of the work is wheel thrown, using a base of black or white clay, upon which Sarah layers natural glazes which are mixed by hand at the studio.
Her designs are underpinned by function and simplicity, to be enjoyed everyday.
