About the teacher
As well as being passionate potter, Sue is a qualified teacher and brings extensive experience in working with children, adults and people with disabilities to her classes.
In her ceramic practice Sue uses both wheel throwing and hand building techniques to explore ceramic forms as a means of human connection through daily ritual and interaction. She is interested in the cultural meaning we attach to the ceramic vessels we use in everyday life.
Sue enjoys sharing her love of clay with students and helping them explore the many ways clay can be used to create both functional ware and sculptural forms.
