Inspired by nature, organic forms, architecture and the concept of ¨less is more¨, architect Frances Bonet loves to work with clean, simple, and flowing lines whilst playing with geometry to create movement and contrast in her work. She has always been interested art, design, building, but most of all being creative and making things with her hands. Her passion for ceramics and the grounding qualities of clay has worked its way into her everyday life as she explores the limits of clay using various building techniques such as the potters’ wheel and hand building.
Frances has been involved with ceramics since the age of 6 when her parents introduced her to ceramics and its magic when they enrolled her to take summer classes at La Liga de Arte de Puerto Rico under the teachings of Sylvia Blanco. Throughout her life she continued to take ceramics and potters wheel classes as continuing education at MIT in Massachusetts. In Puerto Rico she worked as a ceramicist assistant to ceramicist Beatriz Martí, took potters wheel with Cecile Molina at her studio, and with Gadiel Rivera at La Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico and at the Puerto Rico Ceramic’s Store. She has also taken classes with Puertorican renown artists Lorraine de Castro and Diana Dávila.
