Episode 50 | Clay & Cuttings | May 12, 2026
Frances Palmer
Show Notes: Frances Palmer's path to creating her own pottery studio and cultivating a fabulous flower garden comes down to focus and dedication. She put in the time and develop her craft with an eye toward building a sustainable business where her work is not just a collection of beautiful objects but also usable in everyday life.
Show host Melanio Gomez was made aware of her work years ago when Martha Stewart suggested using some of her pottery in a story being developed for the magazine.
She's published two books that take us into her world: Life in the Studio and Life with Flowers both of which we spoke about with book editor Ellen Morrissey in episode 49 (Ellen worked with Frances on both books). It's an honor to have Frances on A Life Creative this week, her birthday week too!
