Jo is currently the acting Education Program Manager at Canberra Potters. Her role requires that from time to time she take occasional classes or specialist workshops at Canberra Potters. Jo’s previous experience as a secondary school arts teacher places her well to share her knowledge and skills with her students and fellow teaching staff.

Her personal work is essentially tactile; her forms, both sculptural and functional, invite interaction from the user. She builds surfaces, colours and curves that invite the touch and is inspired by the fact that forms and patterns repeat in nature. Tree roots branch out in the same way that rivulets run, flames flicker and branches divide.

Sue assists the Education Program Manager with enrolment and student orientation services. As a qualified teacher she is able to provide sound advice in facilitating the delivery of our educational program. A keen potter in her own right Sue is able to answer any enquiries regarding courses, material costs and student needs that may arise during the term. In addition, Sue has been instrumental in the development and monitoring of our Social Media presence—a growing function of our organisation.
