Fi's been making pots since 2013 and opened GROUND in early 2020. The store predominantly sells hand-thrown tableware, but Fi's practice also includes sculptures, prints and collages.

‘Recently, I've begun to take on more orders for restaurants and cafes, which has been made possible as a result of taking on this space and investing in a new kiln,’ she says.
