Best New Design Books What makes a creative life? For an artist
like Frances Palmer, it’s knitting all of one’s passions—all
of one’s creativity—into the whole of life. And what an
inspiration it is. A renowned potter, an entrepreneur, a gardener,
a photographer, a cook, a beekeeper, Palmer has over the course of
three decades caught the attention not only of the countless people
who collect and use her ceramics but also of designers and design
lovers, writers, and fellow artists who marvel at her example. Now,
in her first book, she finally tells her story, in her own words
and images, distilling from her experiences lessons that will
inspire a new generation of makers and entrepreneurs.Life in the
Studio is as beautiful and unexpected as Palmer’s pottery, as
breathtakingly colorful as her celebrated dahlias, as intimate as
the dinners she hosts in her studio for friends and family. There
are insights into making pots—the importance of centering, the
discovery that clay has a memory. Strategies for how to turn a
passion into a business—the value to be found in collaboration,
what it means to persevere, how to develop and stick to a routine
that will sustain both enthusiasm and productivity. There are also
step-by-step instructions (for throwing her beloved Sabine pot,
growing dahlias, building an opulent flower arrangement). Even some
of her most tried-and-true recipes. The result is a portrait of a
unique artist and a singularly generous manual on how to live a
creative life.
