Jim Adair

My ceramic work consists of hand built and thrown bowls, plates, vases and cups.   Surface tension, texture and color are important aspects of my work.  I am strongly influenced by far eastern ceramics, most notably Chinese and Japanese. This has drawn my interest to wood fire and its atmospheric magic.  For many years, I had access to a wood kiln, but now I work out of my home studio and fire in a small soda kiln to cone 6.  Whatever the firing method used, I am always fascinated by surfaces.
