24th Annual Chanticleer Lecture: From Flowers to Vases with Frances Palmer

In this illustrated lecture, Frances Palmer will discuss how her ceramics are influenced not only by her art history training, but also the influence of gardens and gardeners. These include Charleston, Cedric Morris, Rousham and Constance Spry. She will also illustrate the link between her pots and the flowers she grows for them beginning in early spring and on through to the start of winter.
