Frances works with clay and fired materials to make sculpture, architectural ceramics and works that span art and function. She develops tactile glazes and creates works that document the hand of the maker. The inspirations for her work include material science, elemental forces and unseen systems – pressure, gravity and flow.
She lives and works on the Machars peninsula of South West Scotland.
