Michel Francois

Michel uses ancient timeless techniques to create functional vessels benefitting from a sculptural quality.
His own glazes are crafted using feldspar, cornish stone and ash from local trees, such as chestnut, ash, and beech. By starving the kiln of oxygen, he draws minerals and oxides from inside the clay to the surface. There they react with the ash glaze, combining to act as prisms that filter and reflect light.  This process ensures that each piece is unique.
Recently he has been commissioned to create 200 porcelain pieces to grace the suites of the Dorchester Hotel in London.
