SEAN ADAMS BIOGRAPHY
I studied ceramics and painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I work with pigmented porcelain from my home studio in southwestern Michigan, alongside my partner, daughter, and four dogs. My work is slip-cast from models I throw on the wheel. During the leather-hard stage, I carefully apply hand-cut stencils and paint the cast forms with pigmented slips, which I adjust to a very specific thickness to achieve a bas-relief effect. I make my own clay and glaze, and I fire to cone 6 oxidation.
