We are excited to introduce the first book to present the creativity and skill of noted ceramicist Adam Buick. His work has been recently acquired by V&A and is held in collections in Crafts Council UK, Chatsworth House and the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff. ⁠

This book spans the life and work of the ceramist and offers a dive into the conceptual underpinnings of his work as he creates a tension between us and the natural world. ⁠
