Frances Priest talks ceramics, delighting in the decorative & firing up

Welcome to DES Talks, a new podcast from Design Exhibition Scotland where Susanna Beaumont celebrates making and creating in a series of conversations with designers, craftspeople, makers and artists, who share insights into their working lives, influences and ideas. In our first DES Talks, Susanna chats to Frances Priest, the Edinburgh-based artist maker and designer who works in ceramics. A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Frances talks through her early years, her delight in working in clay on both the large and small scale and the sheer joy of the decorative. Frances shares thoughts on materials and making and her collaboration with garden designers Duncan Hall and Nick Burton on the Silver Gilt awarded The Down's Syndrome Scotland Garden for this year's Chelsea Flower Show. http://www.francespriest.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/francesprieststudio/https://www.designexhibitionscotland.co.uk/Production Ryan Scott https://www.ryanscottfilm.com/Music Malin https://www.instagram.com/malinlewismusic/
