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.

Leach Studio
Bespoke Studio pieces by the Leach Pottery. This collaborative work is born from the skills and ideas that each of their individual potters brings to the workshop. With a nod towards their history, they work together to create work that is unique and belongs to this era of the Leach Pottery’s enduring legacy.
