For those of you who don’t subscribe to House & Garden (tsk, tsk), here’s the perfect Sunday read – HandGOctLifestyle – It’s a profile I wrote with the help of my partner in crime, Anne Hardy, about an inspirational woman – Connecticut-based potter Frances Palmer who seizes each day quietly with the wisdom gained from thirty years at the wheel. Determination, routine, prioritisation and perspective all play a role in her daily life. Oh, and a wee bit of natural talent…
Not only does Palmer make pots to die for,
she grows dahlias, keeps bees and makes heavenly cakes (trust me on the latter), – all of which play an interconnected role in her creative ecosystem. She also takes all her own photographs.
And for those based near Connecticut, Palmer has two shows opening this month – a photography exhibition at Wave Hill exhibiting a selection of photographs from her book.
The photographs bring together the abundance of her garden with the individuality of each vessel she creates.
