About this maker

Sue first picked up clay during A Levels and immediately made a connection with the material. As a farmer’s daughter, messing about with soil was second nature, but being able to construct and make vessels felt like another level.  A part time job at a local pottery introduced her to production throwing and wider opportunities arose as she enrolled onto a Ceramics degree course. She began to explore slip casting and model making, finding that turning plaster on a lathe was akin to turning ribbons of clay on a thrown bowl.  The qualities of the materials are similar, each endeavouring to express a particular attribute. Winning an RSA Student Design Award with a placement at Wedgwood firmly rooted her interest in industrial ceramics, and a full time role as a shape designer followed.
