Paul’s work reflects a keen interest and fascination with the ‘life form’ and the ‘organism’. His fascination in both Australian fauna and mythological creatures brings his creatures to life. He states, ‘I like to convey an imagined view of life as we see it.’
His work captures the beauty, character, strength, purity, emotion and facial expression of animals and creatures which interest him.
Paul makes a range of creatures from dogs, cats, and frogs through to fanciful dragons. His pieces can be worn or simply admired. Recently he has begun to explore a range of soda fired functional ware of drinking vessels and teapots. The glazes he uses on these works emulate ‘ash glaze’ effects.

Fran joined the shop in late 2018 and although a newcomer to the shop she has had a long association with Canberra Potters both as a teacher and past studio holder. Since completing her studies at ANU School of Art in 2013 Fran has been making, selling and exhibiting her work as FRATTEMPO Ceramics.  Fran has developed functional designs for Cafes and restaurants including Rye Cafe in Braddon, ACT, and Jackalope Hotels in Victoria. Fran says of her work  “I hope my work encourages a moment of reflection, the excuse to pause and make a small ritual out of your task, whether it is making a cuppa, lighting a candle or arranging flowers or food on the table.”
