Collection: Suze Lindsay

Suze Lindsay’s formal ceramic studies started with a two-year CORE fellowship at Penland School of Craft (Bakersville, NC), followed by earning an MFA at Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge). She then returned to Penland School of Craft as a long-term artist-in-residence. After completing those three years in residence, her goals focused on the creative life as a full-time studio potter, setting up her studio in Penland's rich craft community. Working with stoneware clay, Lindsay subtly suggests figure and character by manipulating forms after they are thrown. An integral part of her work includes surface decoration to enhance her pottery forms by patterning and painting slips and glazes for salt firing. She currently lives and works at Fork Mountain Pottery. She and her late husband, and fellow potter, Kent McLaughlin, built the studio and gallery in the mountain ridges of western North Carolina.
