Adam the potter

Opening the door to RCC’s pottery studio and seeing Adam Wiley sitting alone with his back to me as his hands fluidly danced around his clay, I immediately saw a passionate, content artist. Adam began throwing pottery 15 years ago after he bought a mug and was unable to set it down for three days. He became enthralled with the art of pottery, left his life as a musician to pursue it, and hasn’t looked back. Adam teaches at RCC and in Greensboro and sells his pottery in numerous venues. Six years ago, he moved from Ohio to Seagrove, the pottery capital of the southeast, where he is currently involved as an artist. Adam’s artistic passion and love for pottery is deeply a part of who he is and became very evident even within the short window of 1 and 1/2 hours that I spent with him. Check out his beautiful work at The Table and at the RCC pottery sale.
