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.
Just arrived, full of atmospheric energy, we are pleased to have received our second collection of Sea Mist Vessels by Jenni Hicks.
Glazes crash over her highly textured matt black surfaces, even more freely in this collection than the first, sometimes looking as if they continue to flow over. These pieces make you want to both stand back and watch and hold them in your hands - the sublime of a stormy sea mixed with searching rocks.
