“Adam is not only a super helpful and knowledgeable teacher he is a kind and lovely human!” –Monday Morning with Adam
“Adam is an outstanding instructor — he is conscious of the needs of the class members and gives suggestions and instruction to improve our skills. He moves from space to space to make sure he is accessible to everyone.
He is a competent potter, himself, and gives clear instructions to improve the skills of the students. He is congenial and friendly, but does not intrude on student's activity.” –Tuesday Afternoon with Adam
