Frances Ward
Frances Ward is a mixed and multi-media artist has recently moved to the Niagara Region (2020). She has created works with paint, collage, assemblage, printmaking, photography and, most recently, clay. She started working with clay in 2012, taking courses at the Dundas Valley School of Art and the Art Gallery of Burlington. With stoneware clay fired to cone 6, she currently makes handbuilt (by coil and slab) functional and ornamental objects such as bowls, platters, vases and jewellery. As a painter she often tries for a painterly look when glazing and tends to treat each piece as a “one of”. She is a member of the Burlington and Hamilton Potters Guilds and the Burlington Fine Arts Association. She has participated in the annual Burlington, Hamilton and Guelph Guild sales/shows over the past 10 years and has won several prizes for her ceramic work. Both the Guelph and Burlington events required initial jurying for participation.
