Watch Adam 'Throwing'


"Making pots is my passion"

Clay is a wonderful material which is so malleable in its soft state.
Together with the potter's wheel as my creative tool, I throw loosely- the aim is to captivate a sense of movement and freshness in the soft clay. I misshape my pots even as I throw them and this intervention creates both energy and a tension in the finished piece. My style of throwing is akin to drawing, so that no one pot can be the same as another.

I love Porcelian for its whiteness and my pots are a perfect ground for my inky cobalt drawings.The mark making is spontaneous, yet considered. The decoration, like freedom in the making, is sometimes taken to its limits, the pot being covered in marks, drips and splashes of pigment or sometimes held back to the simplicity of a single line.
