Delve into the story of Scotland: Craft & Design's makers with a series of events at Collect 2018.
Booth TalkFrances Priest
11.30am / Friday 23 February
Ceramicist Frances Priest offers a behind the scenes look into the research and development of her latest body of work which responds to the India section of the seminal Victorian pattern book The Grammar of Ornament by Owen Jones. The talk will begin with her initial research visits to the V&A Prints & Drawings Study Room and the National Museum of Scotland archive, looking at original drawings and a first edition print of The Grammar of Ornament.
Frances will then retrace her path toward the completed pieces, talking through her techniques and making process along the way. She will touch upon a recent first visit to India and reflect upon the influence of this experience on the making of the work. Finally, she will expand upon how her interest in capturing a sense of place through languages of ornament has, for this body of work, focused upon a much-loved book as a treasured place to visit.
