An Afternoon With Adam Frew

About this event

£60pp Discussing the life and practice of renowned Potter, Adam Frew, and his work in ceramics. What to expect On 7th November we will be welcoming renowned Potter, Adam Frew, for an afternoon of conversation and demonstrations. Adam’s work centres on the potter’s wheel. Traditional eastern forms inspire him, but spontaneity as a means of personal expression is key to his work. The exuberant action of throwing is enhanced by a continued experimentation through process, form and colour. Mark Making is intuitive, sometimes relating to form, or process of making, sometimes it’s part of a personal narrative. During this one-off event, Adam will talk about his career and practice as well as giving two demonstrations - the first being a throwing demonstration and the second being a decorating demonstration.
