Inspired by the very nature of clay — a versatile, inclusive and non-hierarchal material — her various projects are conceived in direct collaboration with communities and evolve according to their needs. Her work most often takes the form of workshops, cooking classes or communal events, and offers to the participants involved opportunities to learn new skills and form new social bonds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrancesca Anfossi is also the director of Rochester Square, a dynamic space in London dedicated to socially-engaging projects and artistic collaborations, where she recently completed the installation of temporary ceramic facilities for recreational use by artists and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"San Mei Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":40816934682709,"sku":"VGHFRAN005","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green\/Blue","offer_id":40816934715477,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":40816934748245,"sku":"VGHFRAN016","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":40816934781013,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/6665\/3781\/files\/DSC_1155.jpg?v=1715446274","url":"https:\/\/sanmeigallery.myshopify.com\/products\/francesca-anfossi-plates","provider":"San Mei Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
