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.
Did anyone spot James Pegg's work on the latest episode of The Great Pottery Throw Down? There was definitely a happy yelp from our sofa! The programme displayed two of James’ limited edition Acladi vases to demonstrate exceptional examples of slip-casting. And we are excited that those two vases shown on the episode are coming to us to be part of our upcoming new show ‘& The Sky Was Purple’ which opens in the gallery with the private view this Thursday, 6th Feb, 6.30-9pm. All welcome.
