Adam Frew

Adam Frew is a potter based in rural Northern Ireland.  He works in porcelain, creating thrown functional and large one-off pots.  During his studies at Belfast Art College, Adam spent time at the historic Winchcombe Pottery sparking a love for production pottery, and in Finland  with Judy Makela. Upon graduating in 2004, he undertook a two year apprenticeship with Lisa Hammond at her Greenwich based pottery where he gained the experience and confidence to set out on his own. Adam moved back to Northern Ireland and was resident potter at Flowerfield Arts Centre for 12 years.  He and his family moved to Aghadowey in Co.Derry with the intention of creating a larger studio space beside their home.  Following a very successful crowdfunding campaign which part financed the renovation of an old barn, Adam now works and teaches from his own purpose built studio.
