“I love teaching. I try to bring African techniques, which are different than those in the United States or Europe, and mix them together. It is interesting to see what happens with the mix of cultures.”
“Adama is an amazing potter, and he's also an excellent and inspiring teacher. That's a wonderful combination - and we're all lucky to have him guiding our studio experience.” –Thursday Evening with Adama
“Adama graciously took us in. I am deeply grateful to him. I need to say, he could not have been more generous in assisting me. He also taught me some wonderful creative pieces to make. I truly enjoyed it. I would truly enjoy being with him again.”
