About the Artist
‘My work explores scale and a sense of solidity and quiet, inspired by my childhood in North Yorkshire. I achieve this by balancing volume and proportion with the outline of the piece and its surface; juxtaposing flat hard edges against rounder softer surfaces. This creates tension between the clarity of the form and the finish of the piece. I work in series, forging collections of responses and often add handmade coloured oxide grogs and molochite to the clay, which imbue a sense of permanence. I often polish the surface with diamond pads and only part glaze or underglaze, creating a chiaroscuro effect. I frequently throw double walled forms, generating forms where you would expect to see the interior of the vessel.’
Leonie Stanton completed a BA and MA in History of Design before studying BA Painting at Wimbledon School of Art and then a Two Year Diploma in Ceramics at City Lit College, London. Her work has been exhibited across the UK including selection by Hole & Corner for the British Craft Pavillion at the London Design Fair.

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.
