Bucket and Spade, 2009

details about this work


Fiona Thompson is based in Edinburgh, Scotland


I am a ceramic artist, and my practice focuses on non functional handbuilt vessels for exhibition and commission. The work mainly reflects travel themed narratives, and incorporates print and photographic surface imagery. My practice also includes research, teaching, collaborative projects and residencies.
