I’m Katie Frances, the hands behind Frandles.
I started Frandles in Brooklyn around 2017 out of a need to keep my hands busy. Originally, I only made candles (Frandles Candles), but since then, it has turned into so much more. It’s a hobby, a side hustle, a distraction, and even a form of therapy. I’m a slow “maker,” I don’t batch things out in tens or hundreds. I make them one-by-one. Everything here is thrown, fired, glazed, shipped, and sold by yours truly. When I’m not making ceramics, I’m making commercials as an Art Director in Seattle, Washington. Take off your internet shoes and stay a while.
