Adam Ross
Maker's Story
Adam Ross is a ceramicist using pottery as a means of sculptural exploration. Driven to create pieces with their own personality, Adam has developed innovative techniques to produce his tableware and artworks, from slicing pieces with wire to unexpected glaze applications. Having trained in ceramics from an early age, Adam went on to study ceramics at the Glasgow School of Art. He currently runs his own practice, and is also studio manager at the Kiln Rooms, London – an open access pottery studio.
Maker's Quote
I’m interested in people and how they act and move. During the making process I try to capture a particular pose or posture, sometimes with particular friends or family in mind. I like the idea of subtly suggesting a human form in clay without using any recognisable anatomical features.

The Process
Adam Ross typically works from a potter’s wheel, throwing thick cylindrical forms before slicing the clay and applying glaze to transform the material into something unpredictable and unique.
