Max Adams

Max L Adams is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice fuses the precision of craft with a dynamic exploration of time, movement, and collective form—translating into sculptural, graphic, and digital language.


Max Adam’s award-winning drawing references the Studio Pottery Movement, which in art history marked a shift towards fine art within the craft of ceramics, highlighting the tension between artistic freedom and traditional norms.

Out of Round, is Max’s MFA research project from his recent studies at the Royal College of Art

SELECTED EXHIBITIONS:

Completion in Motion in Peckham, London (2024) and Finding Place in Crawley, West Sussex (2024).

MFA in Arts & Humanities from the Royal College of Art (2023-24) and a BFA in Studio Art from Wheaton College, USA (2011-15)

Adams lives and works in London.

“My drawings, Out of Round, provide an outline of the Studio Pottery Movement and the subsequent flattening of its forms into icons of regional identity, anti-industrial labour, and domesticity.”
