Pottery Club
This is an exciting opportunity for you to unleash your creativity.
Club night takes place on Wednesday evenings when the studio is open from 6:30-9:00pm for members to come and work on their personal projects. There is no formal tuition but Sue will be available to answer questions and give guidance. Members will also be able to come and work in the studio during the days that Sue is working there.
Clay is purchased through the club and includes the cost of glaze and firings. A choice of white or buff stoneware is available in 5Kg or 10kg amounts.
Members are free to use all studio equipment (excluding the kilns) and will be taught the correct use of the slab roller.
Membership will run for either 6 or 12 months and includes a 10% discount off all organised pottery workshops.
Sue
Sue is a qualified teacher. She discovered clay in her mid-twenties, after experimenting with a range of art forms. She immediately enrolled for a number of evening courses and has been hooked ever since.
In 2003, with her family, Sue moved to New Zealand where she was lucky enough to work with a number of renowned NZ potters. In 2015, the wheel turned full circle and she returned to the UK, initially setting up her studio at her home in mid-Wales. After out-growing that space, Sue opened the studio in Caersws at the end of 2019.
Sue has undertaken commissions and exhibited in numerous exhibitions, both in NZ and the UK, and her work is in many private collections around the world.
Sue gets her inspiration from nature and many of her pieces are organic in form. She enjoys hand-building and likes to incorporate natural fibres into the clay. Pieces are often finished with earthy oxides. Sue uses stoneware or porcelain clay and fires to over 1200 degrees.
