Image: Susan Ramsay-Smith’s talk For our September event, we ran a new and improved event where 4 artist members delivered a short 10-minute talk about their practice.
This Pecha Kucha-style event, previously run as 5x5, gives us the opportunity to get to know more about the work and inspirations of our members. As usual, an eclectic mix of artists was showcased, demonstrating the diversity of our artists' network including painters, ceramicists and sculptors:
The artists who took part were as follows:
Susan Ramsay-Smith
Susan Ramsay-Smith’s ceramic practice is underpinned by an ecological approach, sourcing and processing Weald clay. After 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.
