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.

Laurie Nouchka is a visual artist, yoga practitioner and body worker. Her practice is influenced and informed by the body, spirituality, consciousness and nature. Through mediums including drawing, breath work, movement and collective gathering she invites you to gain a deeper awareness of ourselves and the world around us.
Her Gestures collection is a new body of work which results from spending time on the land, both in body and spirit: "While meditating, moving and breathing in these spaces I gather bark, leaves and berries. I then turn them into ink and return to their source to create the work. The gestures are an expression of the energy that I feel travelling through me from the source to the paper. A dance between the form and the formless."
