Frances Priest at Blackwell.
How fitting it is that ceramic artist Frances Priest’s survey exhibition Motif, Line, Colour, is at Blackwell. Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott‘s masterpiece richly demonstrates craft’s power to augment architecture, interiors and daily life at human scale. The show brings together 60 works spanning 25 years of Frances’s practice, carefully positioned throughout Blackwell in conversation with each other and with elements of the house.
In an essay titled The Soul of the House from his book Houses and Gardens (1906), Baillie Scott wrote of the practice of craft as “possessing that strange inscrutable quality of true romance” with the power to “lull and soothe”. These words capture the sensation of Frances’s work – vivid and contemplative in equal measure.
Hugo has written an introductory essay about Frances’s work for the catalogue accompanying Motif, Line, Colour, which launches on Saturday 31st January. He will be in conversation with Frances at Blackwell from 3:30 - 5pm. Tickets have sold out, but we are told to advise anyone keen to attend to register for returns on the Lakeland Arts website.
Motif, Line, Colour runs at Blackwell until April 11th 2026. Do go!

For the show, James designed a candle holder with two materials of historic significance in the Scottish home: peat for warmth and pewter for embellishment. Old Flame honours the millennia old formation of peat with an object of value for daily use. We are borderline candle addicts; they help keep the flame alight in our relationship. 🔥

‘The stony beaches of Loch Tamnabhaigh on the west coast of Lewis are covered in plastic. You find splintering plastic pieces no larger than a grain of sand and some that are large enough to climb inside, all from the multicoloured fishing industry and the remnants of human consumption. I see the beauty in these colours, as controversial as this may seem. The way these forever plastics have been shaped from decades at sea catch my attention and, to be honest, I have never seen these beaches any other way. Habitats form on the debris, goose barnacles carve into polystyrene and seaweed strings across acrylic buoys. My neighbour once retrieved a bright red kayak in the surf of a storm that had come straight across the pond from Maine, with the price tags still attached. Ten years ago I found a perfect multifaceted hose head that we still use. We’ve turned trash into treasure many times by giving meaning to once discarded objects. But, as we all know, the negatives far outweigh any positives when it comes to ocean plastic, and I will never see these beaches as my ancestors used to see them.‘
