Frances creates smoke fired vessels and sculptural pieces using traditional hand building techniques that connect her to a slower and more rewarding pace of life. Taking inspiration from the sea battered coasts of the UK and Brittany, she concentrates on simple forms with burnished or textured surfaces that allows them to harmonise with the unique atmospheric patterning of a sawdust firing. www.francesmarr.co.uk |
