We live such busy lives that it can be easy just to grab things. And so, when we sit down to eat a meal that someone has lovingly prepared, or use a bowl, plate or cup that someone’s hands have made for ours, it can feel like a truly connecting moment. This chance to stop and enjoy the details that someone has created is exactly the idea that formed our supper clubs. Our potters and chefs have spent time discussing the menu, exchanging their individual perspectives on their signature ‘dishes’ and then making - prepping, throwing, chopping, glazing... to create a moment where we get to stop and connect back in for an evening, enjoying every inch of our lovingly crafted plates.

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.
