Ceramic Review: Masterclass with Adam Buick

'My strongest influences stem from the archaeological and anthropological theory I learnt at university about land use and humans’ interaction with their environment. I still refer to my text books from that time. Ultimately my work is about being present within a landscape.'

In this video, Adam Buick takes us step-by-step through the processes he uses to throw one of his large Moon Jars and the technique for joining it.

Oh these are some of the loveliest moon jars I have seen!! I agree that they are never boring, not just because of the variations in glazing, but also the shape does shift a bit. The opening scene - that moon jar is heavenly :)

Is there anything more relaxing than watching potters on a wheel? Such beautiful work. Thank you.

I’m intrigued by the stool you use….l hadn’t noticed it the other times I’ve watched this video! In addition, the kettle that the scenographer focuses on so much is the sort of thing I utilize in my own assemblage work!

I lost a heartbeat when he flipped the bowl on top 😅

That's a beautiful part of the world.

I loved the video! Makes me want to make moon jars again 😋

[erinwithryder]

How was the foot of the vase trimmed? Or it doesn't need to be trimmed at all?

[funnyastronomer]

Does he conduct workshops? I'd love to attend and learn from him.
