Susan Ramsay-Smith’s ceramic practice is underpinned by an ecological approach, sourcing and processing Weald clay.
Since completing her Craft MA in 2021, when Susan focussed on investigating and testing different materials, she relocated to Eastbourne which offers a new seascape.
Susan’s interest for experimenting with naturally occurring clay deposits was stimulated by a studio visit to Danish potter Anne Mette Hjortshøj, on the island of Bornholm. Reflecting on this experience, Susan allows the alchemy and interplay between material and process to inform the outcome of her work, creating sculptures and vessels which signify the relationship between the material and landscape.
