Grammar of Ornament Vessel & Plinth iii

Frances’ current work explores and interprets languages of ornament from different cultures, places and periods in history. From her Edinburgh studio she creates intricate and colourful ceramic objects that celebrate her fascination with ornament and pattern, using clay as a canvas on which to build richly drawn and layered surfaces of inlaid line, glaze colour and enamel decals.

Beyond the studio Frances develops projects and commissions that respond to people and places, using her interests as a platform from which to engage with new environments. This approach has lead to work in varied and sometimes unexpected settings, from an English Tudor banqueting room in Sheffield, to a country home on the Scottish Island of Raasay.
