I’m enormously grateful to Adam Buick for letting me come over and join him as he opened his kiln, discussing materials and processes he uses as we unpacked. Adam’s use of local materials, particularly gravel-sand from Abereiddy Bay as temper / grog, seaweed and a clay from a Aber Mawr (where we both spent much of our childhoods) in his glazes, really interested me. You are on the right lane as you approach Adam’s workshop as you encounter pieces by a gateway, the pond……
