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.

'Driven by line and form, my work usually starts as a drawing which is translated into clay and shaped by many unconnected influences.
'Taking the utilitarian and reimagining it into something which is functional yet ornate, exploring the idea of industrial fragility.
'Created with intuitive intention, each piece is to be used ritualistically.'
Karl Sebastian studied Fine Art Sculpture at the University of Brighton, where he was taught to work in a multitude of materials. He currently lives and works in London.
