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.
We are still busy going through all of the submissions we have received for our Winter Exhibition but we can tell you now it's going to be another special one! Alongside our selection from this open call, we will also have new collections by many of our gallery artists including a new set of bowl and black forms by Kim Colebrook (first sneak preview in image).
