Here is a different set on objects from my vast ceramics collection bought from a thrift store just down the road so tempting to pop in a see what pottery was being tossed out. Like items from a bygone era, vintage tea knives and egg holders, a feast of vintage delights.
Depicting many delicious objects in my studio, carefully selected, arranged and captured. I am a collector, a categoriser, I love to bring groups of object together and see them en masse.

Frances-Ann Norton
I am an interdisciplinary artist with a practice which uses creative writing in poetry, and the visual arts in painting, textiles and sculptural ceramics. I apprenticed for five years in North Carolina with studio Potter Bill Stewart. I have been a creative practitioner for thirty years. Some of the themes my visual arts include Medieval iconography, narrative, Feminism, imagination and spirituality. My creative output has led to craft shows, commissions, residencies, competitions and exhibitions in the UK and internationally. These have been group and solo shows from London to Korea, the US to Tbilisi, Persia to the Netherlands. I maintain an artist studio in pop up spaces locally in Leeds which allows me time for serious-play with words images images.
