For self-taught ceramicist, gardener, and photographer Frances Palmer, flowers and pottery are inseparable. Her beloved Connecticut garden is central to her craft, where she grows thousands of cut flowers that inspire her exquisite handmade vessels.
These two passions first intertwined when Frances moved into her home 32 years ago. Her six-acre plot quickly filled up with cut flower garden beds that overflow with a rainbow of blooms every year. Overlooking the garden from her studio window, she shapes her vases for the seasonal arrangements she plans to create.
