Common Ground, Distinct Visions – Francis Lloyd Jones, Florian Gadsby Talk

Common Ground, Distinct Visions – Francis Lloyd Jones, Florian Gadsby Talk

Having both trained in Thomastown, Ireland, and apprenticed at Maze Hill Pottery under Lisa Hammond MBE, Francis Lloyd-Jones and Florian Gadsby have both learned thoroughly how to throw with efficiency and skill, each striving for sensibility and functionality in their work.

Florian's complements his architectural forms with feldspathic, gas-fired glazes which create a rich crystalline effect. Florian has long been documenting his process online for his 1.8 million followers and has recently published his first book, By My Hands; A Potter's Apprenticeship.

Francis' subtle forms capture a delicate balance between looseness and definition. He fires his pieces in a wood kiln, in reduction and often with salt glazes, which evoke a quiet elegance. He is currently based in Cumbria as the resident potter for Grizedale Arts, an influential arts organisation underpinned by the philosophy that art should benefit wider culture and society.
