Francoise Jeffrey
Works
Bio
Dutch designer Françoise Jeffrey’s encounter with clay was triggered by her mother’s passing in 2019, as a way to confront her grief and ultimately, let go of it. The pieces she creates – beautifully imperfect, coil-built ceramic sculptures – are an homage to her mother and the courage she displayed at the end of her life.
With her works, Françoise hopes to provoke a conversation, and encourage the viewers to stay in touch with their own natural instincts, explaining: “My ultimate dream is for my ceramics to touch people’s souls and for them to take away a small fragment of my mother’s courage after seeing my work and hearing her story.I’d love for people to not only feel inspired, but also feel encouraged. Because every courageous decision is preceded by a difficult conversation.”
