When Frances was 14 she drew this picture which felt so much like doing a sculpture, and gave her such a strong urge to sculpt, that she persuaded her mother to buy some clay. Frances then sculpted her father, and her career as a sculptor was born.

Frances is a member of The Royal Society of Sculpt

Frances is a member of The Royal Society of Sculptors, which was founded more than 100 years ago to champion contemporary sculpture and the artists who create it.

“Inspired by Michelangelo, Frances has dedicated herself to creating bronze busts of her subjects which capture their immediacy and likeness. Her creations are realistic sculptures with a purity that invites the viewer to ponder on the face and inner thoughts that emanate from the work, the eyes, the faint lines on the skin. Her busts provide a classic vision of harmony and peace."

On Monday UK Youth welcomed Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to Avon Tyrrell, the outdoor centre in the New Forest to launch an appeal to restore and expand the site.

The visit came after the installation of a one-of-a-kind sculpture of HRH The Princess Royal by Frances who is of course known for her sculptures of the Royal Family.

Commissioned in celebration of the Princess Royal’s 70th birthday in 2020, the sculpture also appeared in an ITV documentary ‘Anne: The Princess Royal at 70’.

If you have ever had a peek inside Frances’ stud

If you have ever had a peek inside Frances’ studio, you might have caught a glimpse of this doll’s house made by her Great Grandfather, who was born in approximately 1880 in Leeds.

It had a beautiful garden and each room had pieces of hand-carved furniture hand-carved.

There are still some of his original pieces in the rooms.

The doll’s house is a source of inspiration for when Frances is sculpting in her studio.

See if you can spot it in some of the videos on her YouTube channel!

THRONE CHAIRS!

In addition to bronze busts, Frances has a collection of life-sized throne sculptures made out of stainless steel.

The throne is an ancient symbol in the Royal story - a literal seat of divine and secular rule and a defining sign of the claim to power and authority.

Frances has made 4 separate throne chairs: a new Coronation Chair (more about that soon…), a large double Crown Chair, and the King & Queen Throne Chairs.

@vision_fdn have recently merged with @fightforsightuk. The merger will help both charities tackle sight loss from both a clinical and social perspective. They’ll be combining teams, announcing a new name and fine-tuning their unified mission and strategy – as well as continuing with the important work they’re already committed to – so you can expect big things in the coming months, including more info on what’s happening with this very sculpture…

Ahead of the Coronation, Royal sculptor Frances Segelman has created a new bronze sculpture of King Charles III.

Previously Segelman sculpted the then Prince of Wales in 2014 at Highgrove, marking the 40th anniversary of The Prince's Trust.

Her latest sculpture of King Charles is an up to date, life-and-a half-sized rendition, depicting how the new King will be seen on Coronation Day.

It was cast at Bronze Age Foundry in Limehouse, London and will be unveiled at a new exhibition of Segelman’s work later this year, which will also include a series of miniature bronze sculptures of the Royal Family, diamond dust prints of King Charles, and a six foot stainless steel throne sculpture.
