Francesca is a UK ceramicist, based in Manchester. She specialises in slip casting and mold-making, using material inclusions in clay such as sand, soils and pebbles to achieve a range of colour and textural qualities in her work.
Inspired by the cultural and historical background of the location she collects materials from, she designs and makes tableware collections varying from containers, to dinnerware and kitchen tools.
