Frances Savage
2026 – Taking part in Potfest Scotland – Scone Palace
Frances loves to make pots that are joyful to use as part of everyday rituals to encourage a sense of comfort and warmth. Moving into a newer body of work, Frances is exploring the possibilities of low-fired terracotta slipware, drawing decorative inspiration from the traditions of British slipware and folklore, to create contemporary tableware. She is a great admirer of Medieval pottery and hopes to create friendly forms in an expressive manner with generous curves, slipped surfaces and playful handles. She is fascinated with people’s relationships to material objects and loves to leave traces of the maker on her pieces to encourage a dialogue with the user.
