Maker's Quote
“I greatly value my traditional training which gave me a range of skills, including hand-cutting lettering and images in stone, wood and stone carving, clay modelling and assembling pieces from natural materials.”
The Process
Frances craft her pieces using natural, locally-sourced materials which are sometimes recycled, for ethical, financial & philosophical reasons. Her new collection is informed by the techniques employed in the making process, such as modelling, carving and casting; resulting in dynamic, abstract pieces.
