His current work explores our emotional connection to objects through functional pottery, and explores how physical properties of the pottery evoke and develop connections to both past and present social gatherings around food and drink. Adam’s research has been focused on both personal locality and the regional, as well as research into other maker cultures such as earthenware potters from North Carolina, folk furniture of western Canada, and furniture from French-Canada.
