An in-depth exploration of the life and work of Pembrokeshire-based ceramicist Adam Buick, covering projects spanning his career to date. 

Adam uses the single, pure jar form as a canvas to map his observations of the landscape. By incorporating local stone and clay into his work, he creates an artistic narrative that conveys a truly unique sense of place. Mineral inclusions in the surface of his pots create one-off effects during firing, and this tension between materials reflects the ways that landscapes shape us as individuals.

With over 200 illustrations, to reflect the artist’s mode of working the pictorial content includes both studio ceramics and ceramics in the landscape.

Adam Buick was born in Newport, Gwent in 1978. He studied Archaeology and Anthropology at Lampeter University before enrolling at the West Wales School of Art, Carmarthen and then undertaking a Crafts Council of Ireland Ceramics Design and Skills Course in 2004. His studio is situated at Llanferran on the north coast of the St. David’s peninsula. In January 2017, Adam received a Creative Wales Award from the Arts Council, allowing him to undertake creative experimentation and research to inform his future practice.

'The work of Adam Buick is elemental. He combines earth, air, fire and water with thousands of hours of learning, practice, thought and technique. ... The balance of the work is so threaded through with harmony. It seems to me to be a visual representation of a life in tune with itself, with the land, with the sea. Beautiful.'

'Adam Buick conjures up worlds of spontaneous drama, pots so diverse in their scale and texture, so exquisite in their making, so alive with the Pembrokeshire landscape which they literally embody, that his passionate connection to his environment becomes unmistakable.’ Andrew Renton, Head of Design Collections, National Museum Cardiff
