The Numoku Cup was made for slow moments. Whether it’s morning coffee or an evening pour, it brings a sense of grounding to whatever you’re holding. The glaze moves naturally across the surface—no two ever the same—creating a piece that feels personal from the first use.
The Numoku Platter is a statement in quiet form. Hand-thrown and shaped with intention, its wide surface showcases the depth and movement of the glaze—each firing creating something entirely its own. Designed for gathering, serving, or simply existing as a piece of art, it brings a grounded, natural presence to any space.
This red bottle is a statement in form and color. Thrown by hand and finished in a rich, expressive glaze, it carries a depth that shifts with the light. Designed to stand on its own or hold a simple stem, it brings warmth and presence into any space.
What Sets My Work Apart
Rooted in Place
My work begins with the land it comes from. I collect and process wild clays from northern Utah and develop glazes that respond to those materials, rather than forcing them into a fixed result.
This connection to place shows up in the surface, the color, and the feel of each piece. No two firings are identical — and that variation is intentional. The work carries the memory of where it was made.
Finished with salt
I’m building a salt kiln because I want the kiln itself to participate in the final surface. Salt firing allows heat, flame path, and atmosphere to shape each piece in a way that can’t be replicated or controlled.
Instead of chasing seasonal glaze trends or decorative finishes, I focus on surfaces formed by chemistry and fire. The results are quieter, more durable, and meant to be lived with over time.
Made to Be Used — and Last
Every piece is wheel-thrown in small batches with daily use in mind. Form, balance, and feel matter just as much as appearance.
I design functional pottery to hold up to real life — not just a shelf. Subtle variation, glaze movement, and marks from the process aren’t flaws. They’re evidence of how the piece was made and why it will last.
Meet Adam
I’m a potter and builder based in northern Utah, working out of my studio in Logan where the mountains and long winters shape the rhythm of my days. I first discovered pottery in high school and was immediately drawn to the steady cadence of the wheel—the way a simple lump of clay can be transformed into something both beautiful and useful. That early fascination eventually led me to study ceramics at Utah State University, where I deepened my understanding of form, glaze chemistry, and atmospheric firing.
While studying, I came to see pottery not just as an art form, but as a discipline that blends creativity with chemistry, engineering, and patience. Learning the science behind glazes and the unpredictability of salt firings gave me a deeper respect for the role of fire in the process. It’s a partnership—you guide it, but you also learn to let it speak.
Today, I’m building a salt kiln of my own here in northern Utah, bringing together my love of pottery and my background as a builder. Constructing it brick by brick has strengthened my appreciation for the tools that shape the final work. At the same time, I’m experimenting with wild clays gathered from the Utah landscape, testing them in slips and glazes so the finished pieces feel rooted in this place.
For me, pottery is a lifelong pursuit of patience, balance, and purpose. Each piece is wheel-thrown in small batches, with careful attention to proportion, weight, and how it feels in the hands. I’m especially drawn to functional forms—mugs, bowls, and everyday wares meant to be used often and to last. Salt firing and wild materials ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike, each one carrying subtle variations shaped by flame and atmosphere.
Whether you’re interested in a custom piece, following the kiln build, or simply curious about the work, I’d love to share more of the journey. You can follow along on YouTube, Tiktok and Instagram or reach out to collaborate, commission a piece, or just talk pottery.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Every piece is wheel-thrown, trimmed, glazed, and fired by hand in small batches in my northern Utah studio.
-
Yes. All functional pieces are made with food-safe glazes and fired to vitrification for durability and everyday use.
-
Hand washing is recommended for longevity, but gentle dishwasher use is generally fine. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
-
Occasionally. I accept commissions when they align with my current forms, materials, and firing schedule.
-
Variation is part of the process. Each piece is handmade and fired, so differences in size, surface, and glaze are expected and intentional.
-
New pieces are released as firings are completed. Updates are shared through my online channels.
