Frances Priest joins the QEST Board of Trustees
6th March 2025
We are thrilled to welcome Frances Priest, Edinburgh-based ceramicist and 2022 QEST Johnnie Walker Scholar, to our Board of Trustees!
Frances is a pattern obsessive and lover of colour, exploring cultural histories and narratives of ornament through her studio ceramics and works in the built environment. Frances’ work can be found in prestigious collections such as The Fitzwilliam Museum, V&A, and National Museum of Scotland. Her public commissions include ‘The Tiled Corridor’ for Edinburgh & Lothians Health Foundation and ‘Patterns of Flora’ for Atlas Arts. A Homo Faber selected maker, Frances has also been featured in biennials and received awards such as the Wesley Barrell Craft Award and The John Smedley Craft Prize.
We’re excited to have Frances’ wealth of creativity, passion for craft, and invaluable experience guiding our future endeavours!
