When Adrian Brough made his first pot aged four, he was destined to become a potter. To further cement this fate, his father Alan was a potter and a sculptor. Adrian spent a lot of his early years in his Dad’s pottery studio in Brixham, Devon. “My first memory of making something was using off cuts of clay to make little people,” he fondly recalls. “My first wheel made pot I would have been aged around eleven in Dad’s studio in Newlyn. I helped out at weekends stacking kilns, glazing and putting handles on mugs for pocket money. So I think it’s safe to say I’ve always really been a potter. Dad used to say it probably never occurred to me that I couldn’t make a pot!” Adrian’s process now is mostly thrown pottery although he does some modelling and slab built work.
