Adam Chau spent a lot of time in his parents' bakery growing up, and learned techniques for making efficient multiples. With the similarities between baking and handbuilding, it is no surprise that Adam utilizes some of these techniques in the clay studio. In this video, Adam shares his pie molding technique, as well as how he creates inexpensive brushes to make his own unique marks on his pieces. With a bachelor's degree in ceramics and a master's degree in industrial design, Adam has always been interested in merging technology with studio craft. Adam shows how you can use an industrial process to make plates but decorate them with homemade brushes to contrast the machine made look with the mark of the hand. Check out Adam's other video on wall installations, also on CLAYflicks!!
