About Max Breese
"My work concentrates on contemporary interpretations of traditional forms. My work is thrown, and driven by how it functions, and I like to consider how forms such as a collared neck can make a vase more comfortable to hold in your hands."
"I like to experiment with different colours on the body of the clay. I like how different applications of slip or stain can alter or intensify the character of the piece and its form through the choice of mark making and how they combine with a glaze."
"I use simple glazes, with a focus on the way they are applied and how they combine with slips and stains in order to bring out a range of tones from the clay body.”
Max Breese is an artist born and based in London. A qualified architect, his work spans paintings and ceramics and his latest collection brings together both medium with an abstraction of landscape in light, colour and shape:

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.
