Madelyn Adams

The nature of MA Design pottery stems from its creator.

Madelyn, an international resident and world traveler of more than 35 years, has woven her educational background and immersion in international cultures into her ceramic style.

After settling in north Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband, Michael, and two cats, Madelyn’s initial work featured hand-built designs that focused on Southwest style and subject matter. She artfully crafted cowboys, horses, present-day wildlife from her backyard, and historic symbols from Arizona’s past. First presenting her work at Scottsdale artisan markets in 1996, she was an instant success.

In recent years, Madelyn has added a passion for creating and applying unique glazes to her pottery designs, notable for their distinctive colors and brilliant highlights. She has also expanded her artistic vision to encompass forward-thinking forms; in addition to her original line, she has created a bowl series, dip-dishes, and bird feeders.
