Highlights
For over forty years, Adam has ambitiously explored both traditional and groundbreaking glassmaking techniques, continually pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. His exquisite creations draw inspiration from the world around him, transforming conventional ideas of beauty and function.
Adam's journey has produced an impressive array of works that showcase the artistic potential of glass, ranging from subtle pieces to vibrant installations, celebrated in exhibitions and homes worldwide.
Here are some of Adam's inspiring highlights.
Slide 1
New Dawn Sculpture at Westminster Hall.
New Dawn, the only permanent sculpture in Westminster Hall, captures the spirit of the women's suffrage movement and honours the fight for women's voting rights. The brainchild of Mary Branson, this contemporary artwork was commissioned by the Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art as part of Mary's residency for the Parliamentary Art Collection.
Adam crafted the 168 exquisite glass scrolls, each one a unique masterpiece. These varied-size discs were hand-blown and skillfully ‘spun’ to achieve their distinct flattened form. The way Adam meticulously applied powdered glass colours and silver leaf during the blowing process truly brings the intricate scroll patterns to life. His renowned techniques shine through in every one of these magnificent glass scrolls.
“As an artist, I find great joy in witnessing how installations connect with their surroundings—light, dimensions, and energy play pivotal roles in my creative journey. I’m genuinely excited about New Dawn, which not only honours history but also inspires us to reflect on our future, igniting a sense of hope and enthusiasm for what lies ahead.” - Adam

The Cult of Beauty Exhibition
This exhibition beautifully explores the concept of beauty through different times and cultures. “Working with the talented Amanda Baum and Rose Leahy on their amazing piece, Beauty Sensorium, was a delight. I crafted handblown glass vessels to showcase the fascinating Renaissance goo bubbling inside, along with tiny glass droplets for that perfect touch of authenticity.”

The Adam Lamp
“For over 20 years, I've had the pleasure of designing and creating stunning glass lamps for Porta Romana, a renowned luxury lighting and furniture brand. I absolutely love the Adam Lamp, which was inspired by a stack of beautifully crafted beach pebbles. Each piece is handblown, ground, and polished to a flawless finish. It’s a true labour of love to create these lamps in my studio and incredibly rewarding to find them in hotels and residences worldwide.”
