Join us as we explore the inspiration behind Frances Palmer’s exquisite ceramic creations and the link between her home cutting garden and how it lends itself to her boundless creativity. Guests to this lecture will get a peak into this awe-inspiring world.
In this illustrated talk Frances traces how the ceramics and flowers are inextricably combined in her daily creative process. Using the stunning photographs from her recent book, Life in the Studio, Frances shares the story of her artistic journey.
