Spindra Pottery
Spindra Pottery is the work of Frances Wilson. Frances trained as a painter at Gray's School of Art and has works in many collections. She has become a specialist in Ceramics, and lectures at Shetland College.
She started the Spindra Pottery at Uyeasound in Unst, in order to be able to translate Unst's incredibly fine, cobweb, knitted lace into the medium of porcelain. Her work is astonishingly complex and decorative. |
