Adam strives to depict a sense of movement that draws the eye across the piece.
Adam Frew is a potter whose ceramic work embodies the dynamic energy of the creative process. His pottery celebrates the spontaneity of throwing, creating clean, simple forms that subtly reveal the maker's hand and imbue a sense of life into each piece.
Spontaneous Creative Process
Adam's approach to ceramics is characterized by continuous evolution and experimentation. Adam enjoys the speed of production and seeks to reflect this energy through his mark-making techniques. Inspired by contrasts such as sharp lines, crayon scribbles, brush marks, and sponged sections, he consistently investigates new ways of expressing artistic vision.
Innovative Surface Exploration
Adam Frew's recent work focuses on developing relief elements in the decoration of larger pots. By throwing colored rings and then integrating these fragments into the piece's body, Adam strives to create surfaces with a sense of movement that draws the viewer's eye. He finds particular fascination in how relief elements interrupt and direct the flow of glaze, adding depth and complexity to his ceramic forms.
