In the Artist's Own Words:
My name is Suzanne and I love clay. I love how it feels and even how it
smells. I love to throw clay, and I am totally amazed with what can
be made using clay. The 5 clays that I use are: raku, porcelain, and
three colors of stoneware. I like each one for its own unique
properties and can't give up any one of them because each one is used to
create something different. Almost everything that I make is thrown on the wheel - vases and urns,
piggy banks and bunny banks and pieces that make my grandchildren
happy--and make me happy too--, mugs with big handles, all sizes and
shapes of pitchers, garden and fairy garden items, and a lot of seasonal
items.
I am a left-handed potter and I throw in the opposite direction of most
other potters. For the main part, I taught myself how to throw clay on
the potters wheel. (The potters wheel that I learned on is a very
special wheel that was made for me by my father. It was made from a
tractor axle, electrified, and it is a three speed stick-shift with a
clutch. The wheel is still in use - now I use it to grind the bottoms
of each piece as it comes out of the kiln, to be certain the bottoms are
nice and smooth. )
