Frances Emma Richards

Born: 1869, UK   Died: 1931

Ceramicist. She studied pottery under Richard Lunn at the Royal College of Art and invited his daughter to set up a studio together but Dora Lunn, who was much younger, decided to work independently. Frances Richards worked from her home at 178 Archway Road, London where she had a kiln in the garden. She made thrown pots and bowls glazed in a wide range of colours. Occasionally she also decorated pieces with abstract patterns. She exhibited regularly at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society after 1916 and sold work through Heals and the Three Shields Gallery where she had a solo exhibition in 1928. Her work was illustrated in The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art, 1917, 1927,1928. She produced thrown, and possibly some hand-built, pots with a wide range of coloured glazes and occasionally employed painted abstract decoration, and is one of the pioneer women studio potters of the early 20th century
