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.
Our Winter Exhibition 'Curated View' shows imagined groupings of our online exhibition to help you explore this extensive collection.
Each piece is shown at a set scale, helping to get a clear view on dimensions, and then ordered into 'rooms' to suddenly open up conversations between the pieces, breaking out of their thumbnail squares.
We say we did it for you however maybe that's not completely true... This is what we love to do and we couldn't let a lockdown stop us.
