Fiona Thompson is based in Edinburgh, Scotland
I am a ceramic artist, focusing on non functional handbuilt vessels and three dimensional pieces for exhibition and commission. My practice also includes research, teaching, collaborative projects, writing and residencies. Recent work reflects travel themed narratives, and incorporates print and photographic surface imagery. My current project explores natural history collections.
