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.
Congratulations to gallery artist Nina Gerada who has been selected for 'Fresh', one of the flagship exhibitions of the British Ceramics Biennial.
We are looking forward to seeing Nina's work put further into the spotlight as part of the Biennial's six week celebration of clay in Stoke-on-Trent in September.
In the meantime, you can find out more about Nina and see current available work via her artist page.
